Announcing bzr-revnocache 0.1

Written for Bazaar Revno Cache by Ian Clatworthy on 2009-01-19

I'm pleased to announce the 0.1 release of bzr-revnocache, an experimental plugin that improves the performance of bzr operations referencing merge revisions (i.e. those with dotted revnos) on large projects. As an example, "bzr status -r77537.1.3262" against the Emacs trunk on my laptop takes 60 seconds without this plugin & 14 seconds after installing it.

This release is a proof-of-concept only, suitable for early adopter testing/hacking. For more information including installation instructions, see https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-revnocache.
