[Xen-devel] motivation for sparse trees?

[Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, sorry if I've missed the explanation somewhere, but what's the motivation 
for keeping sparse trees for the OSs instead of full trees?

For PPC work, we've been using a full hg Linux tree, and it's made things very 
convenient to pull, merge, and diff work with upstream. In fact I think every 
Linux developer out there has multiple trees, even though they probably 
aren't modifying more than a dozen for any particular project. Any reason we 
don't do this with Xen development?
