Georg Brandl: bzr and git timings of various operations on the Python source code tree

Bazaar still has a lot of work to do to catch up in the performance
arena. However, it handles renames and merges involving renames better
than any other VCS I have used and this saves me an enormous amount of
my time. So I may have to wait a few seconds here and there for
operations I don't do very often (for example the time spent coding
prior to a commit is orders of magnitudes larger than the time Bazaar
spends actually committing it so a few seconds here does not really
bother me). Bazaar saves me a lot of time in the long run I would say.
Of course, I may be wrong because I have not used Mercurial or Git for a
long while. I switched to Bazaar because of its rename support that it
had very early on. If the others have caught up then I guess I should
re-evaluate them.
