I'm building a new PC and want to run SBS or LMS from my SSD, but don't want 
lots of frequently changing cache files on the SSD (conscious of disk space and 
reduce wear to increase lifetime of the disk).

With Git, it pulls the whole repository including all historic changes and 
branch info down locally.  My .git folder is 586MB!  Unless I'm mistaken, 
there's no way to fetch from a remote repository - I have to pull down the 
whole repository locally?  If so, I guess I could initialise an empty git 
repository on a HDD, and then set a junction point to it from the SSD folder, 
and then fetch into this repository?

What about the SBS/LMS cache folder?  My current LMS cache is 271MB.  Are there 
parts of this that would be best suited to keep on SSD, whilst relocating other 
parts back on HDD?  e.g. there is an Artwork folder that might have a lot of 
small files, but also an artwork.db?  Is the artwork cache folder frequently 
changing?

Lastly, in my LMS cache root folder, I seem to have a proliferation of file*.db 
and plug*.db files.  I think something has gone wrong - why are these getting 
created?  Does LMS create these as temporary DBs, and I should expect them to 
be deleted when closing LMS?  Is it safe to wipe them?
