I didn't get the OP, but I just wanted to respond to this. This is true if you use only checkout/update and commit or have a fast and low-latency connection to the server. It is not true the moment you want to use diffs regularly, with a not-so-good connection to the server. Try working with a server where the connection is not so good: slow and/or high latency. I'm sure you quickly realize that you very much would like to have a mirror closer to you. Putting the single server closer to your location wouldn't help, though, because then the people in the other location would be in that position. So... ? (I'm not saying anybody should do something about this. But just telling people that they don't need that may not really hit the nail. It clearly depends...) Gerhard
