The revision library can consume a lot of disk space. Please see > arch tutorial for more info. I received some feedback from the revision libraries. In case somebody did not notice it, the last command was incorrect. It produced the following error message: gaijin % tla library-config --greedy --sparse usage: tla library-config [options] library-dir try library-config --help It should have been obvious what was missing. The correct command was: tla library-config --greedy --sparse ~/.tla-rev-lib Now, the contents of the revision library should as follows: gaijin % cd ~/.tla-rev-lib/ gaijin % ls =greedy =sparse hipl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Miika Komu miika@xxxxxx http://www.iki.fi/miika/
