You misunderstand me,
I never said that CVS branching was O(1). I said that you effectively "copy a
directory" in subversion to make a branch (how efficient its implemention is
is immaterial). I'm saying the concept of copying a directory to elsewhere
is what I don't like, and they could very well use cvs-style tags, and still
achieve O(1).
I suspect Scott misunderstood me as well, or he made a typo somewhere.
