I thought one of the reasons we didn't choose for `fossil' was the time taken
to clone/checkout a repo. AFAIR it didn't take hours, let alone 3.5 to 5
hours to checkout! Is this really what we want? Could anyone test how fast a
`fossil' checkout/pull would be? And what can is taking so long on hg/git
checkout? Even downloading the complete CVS tree and unpacking it doesn't take
that long! (done that a couple of times)
