Hi,
I noticed it is intended to use git for firmware images:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware_release_procedures
Much to our dismay we discovered git does not work well with binaries
- when you check out from git you get the whole history with it,
which is a multiple of the size of the latest version if there are
binaries in it:

With other SCMs I used, you only get the latest version on checkout.
AFAIK there is no similar option for git, although it has been
discussed:

This may or may not be a problem for firmware images. Or is there
something else that could be done, short of switching to SVN?
