The CTM delta was about 70K for the last change IIRC. It's about 500K when the whole tree is tagged. This could be improved by specialized compression. BTW, what is the best way to look at the diffs in the wollman_polling branch? `cvs diff -r HEAD -r wollman_polling' gave too many current diffs just one or two days after the branch. How do I get the date of the branch in a form suitable for `cvs diff -D'? Bruce
