git + many large compressed binary files == lots of unhappiness, pointless abuse of IO. You don't save any interesting disk space re metadata (fs metadata vs git metadata likely cancel out). And git's internal assumptions about what you're trying to do... yeah, LOTs of unhappiness. You have my vote on ditching it. And I cannot think of anything better than a good old filesystem for the task at hand. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
