bzr needs to scale up very well: projects with tens of thousands of

6

 

commits, tens of thousands of files, and tens of thousands of

7

 

branches.

We are concerned with both the big-O performance of the design, and

10

 

the multiplicative factors of the implementation.  Both is important.

For example, darcs, svn and arch use more than one inode per working

13

 

file (pristine, id file, etc).  This is only a constant factor, but

14

 

enough to more than double the space used by a typical tree.  We would

15

 

like to avoid it if we can.

16

 

 

17

 

From a early stage in development the features which do work should be

18

 

tested on large trees.
