[python-committers] Survey about DVCSs compared to svn

Not sure about that - I *do* port my own changes, and while the merges
are quicker than a full recompile or running the test suite, they're
still far, far, slower than applying an equivalent patch or doing an svn
update.

Given that "svnmerge block" is pretty slow as well, my suspicion is that
the property calculations and the auto-generation of the commit message
are less than lightning fast. (I don't how much that could be improved
by speeding up the underlying svn metadata retrieval - wasn't the server
updated to svn 1.5 fairly recently?)

Cheers,
Nick.
