Comment 1 for bug 737234

I applied the patch to bzr v2.3.1 and I can verify that the issue I was facing is fixed. Both lightweight checkout and stacked branch for lp:gcc now download ~540MB over only 20min, a huge improvement (before it was 8GB over 5h) which makes these operations truly lightweight over network. Thank you for the fix.

The directories downloaded in both cases are 625MB size as reported by du. So I don't see an issue about using these operations over network any more.
