bzr vs. git repository

[Werner LEMBERG]

I've now done a comparison between the network traffic of git and bzr,
using nethogs.

git pull (git://repo.or.cz/emacs.git, git version 1.7.1.78) :

bzr pull (bzr+ssh, bzr version 2.0.5):

  Update from

      revno: 102636

As you can see, bzr still needs about three times more bandwidth in
both receiving and sending...
