One of the big costs of maintaining versioned repositories is finding the
information on a particular revision, given the versioned resource. The
nice thing about a recursive snapshot of a versioned collection is that a
particular revision of a versioned collection can point directly to the
appropriate revision of its children, and avoid this step. In my opinion,
this will be critical to getting performance out of repositories used on
production systems. The old baseline concept allowed this implementation
optimization, and the new one does not.
The new baseline concept captures the same information as the old, and
therefore should be amenable to the same implementation optimizations.
Cheers,
Geoff
