On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 07:30:34AM -0700 I heard the voice of per@pluto.rain.com, and lo! it spake thus:

Surely it would be "noticeably faster" to _download_ only (say) /usr/src/sys than all of /usr/src, unless one has an uncommonly fast link? (It would also impose less load on the serving site.)

In the context of most current-gen DVCSen, it's unlikely to be much (or in fact _any_) faster or less data to transfer. It's just less data to blat into the working tree.

That makes a certain amount of sense _if_ the VCS considers the entire base system to reside in a single repository, which is why someone was suggesting splitting it into multiple repositories.

The question remains: does it really make sense that I must download the entire VCS history for things like cddl, contrib, crypto, games, and kerberos if I only plan to work on the kernel?

As surprising as it may sound to you, in my opinion, the answer is closer to yes than to no.

[snip mention of building kernel-toolchain and userland for testing]

Not everything is needed from userland bits, of course, and history may be not as useful as the source code itself, but once you need some bits from userland it's hard to separate them.

I don't doubt that one needs to have (whatever version of) the whole source tree, but that was presumably installed from the distribution ISO and kept up to date via csup. I see little point in downloading it all _again_ just to get VCS history -- and ability to check out, branch, etc -- for areas that one doesn't plan to touch. That's why I referred specifically to downloading "the entire VCS history" of such parts.

And yes, depending on what part(s) of the kernel I'm working on, I may indeed need to touch some userland code. That still doesn't explain why I should have to import VCS awareness of code that I'm _not_ modifying.
