I don't know about other people's experiences, but for me there's a big difference between working with a repo that's half a globe away and with one that's on my LAN. The one big difference are diffs: on a local repo, they come almost instantly, on a remote repo they always take a while and stop my "flow". My expectation is that I now can work with remote repos with the same speed that I work with my local repo. (FWIW, I think the read-only mirror approach is exactly the right solution for this; the slower remote commit is no problem at all for me.) So for me, this is a real, big improvement and I can't wait to get a stable version and be able to convince people to use it so that I can replicate their repos here. Gerhard
