No.  The usual way to do cheap branching is to use a repository.  This doesn't speed up the initial branch. We do have a spec for what you're talking about, but no one is working on it yet:   <a href="http://bazaar-vcs.org/HistoryHorizon">http://bazaar-vcs.org/HistoryHorizon</a></blockquote><div> Aaron, i read your spec. One comment to your last statement: <a href="http://bazaar-vcs.org/HistoryHorizon#fnref-7d8a63d0abc9cc0190e944b3efde75930de92b9b-0" id="fndef-7d8a63d0abc9cc0190e944b3efde75930de92b9b-0"> > 1</a> Some time ago I heared GCC CVS repository is something like 800MB, so it's not so much out of question I just checked our corporate CVS server for some numbers:   - number of projects / modules: 194   - diskspace usage for the modules: 45 GB   - largest project size: 5.5 GB   - average size of the 10 most important projects: ~2 GB each Two of our offices are connected to our server with a 4MB line only (i know that a lot of private households have faster connections). So yes, it is not out of question ;-) Even when not working in a distributed team, a history horizon would make a lot of sense.
