If a .git directory grows big, you can try git-repack -a -d which combines single object files into pack files with delta compression. I always do this for the disk space savings after fetching updates, but note that there may be a performance tradeoff for some operations between pack files and single object files. PS: I followed up to this thread before from a different address, but it looks like the post was rejected because that address isn't subscribed to the list. I understand that non-subscriber posts can't be accepted automatically due to spam, but I think manual moderation would be better in that case than automatic rejection. I share moderation of about half a dozen lists with other people, only takes me a couple of minutes a day thanks to a nice utility called listadmin. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
