]] Joey Hess | I support changing 3.0 (git) to use a bundle. Besides closing the bugs | mentioned in this thread, a bundle consists of a simple header + a | standard git pack. Since git packs are used as a wire format, this | provides better assurance that future versions of git will retain | compatability with the source packages. Also, being able to directly | clone a bundle file is a great feature.
Just to be sure: Bundles can include multiple branches, tags and all, right? | The only thing I would miss from this version of the format is that | when unpacked, it would not include remotes information, and so | remotes would need to be manually added if you wanted to 'git pull' to | get newer commits etc. I suppose that the remotes info could be added | into the source format in some other way however. Either getting upstream to extend the format to allow remotes to be included or extending the source package format sounds like a good idea. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
