Re: Why so much time in the kernel?

Is it a crazy idea to read the cvs files, compute an sha1 on each
expanded delta and then write the delta straight into a pack file? Are
the cvs and git delta formats the same? What about CVS's forward and
reverse delta use? While this is going on, track the
branches/changsets in memory and then finish up by writing these trees
into the pack file too. This should take no more ram than cvsps needs
currently.

This leaves the packfile is a non-optimal format but a repack should
fix that, right?
