That's only worded badly. The 2GB limit isn't for the whole repository, but for single "blobs" *in* a repository. So you can at the moment not commit files/content with a size >2GB after compression(!). I just created a 4.3GB repository under msysgit. Stock git (Linux/Unix/OSX/cygwin-windows) doesn't have that problem at all, only msysgit still has. That's because it uses 32bit file operations through MSVCRT.DLL. There's no fundamental problem, a switch to the 64bit functions shouldn't be hard and will certainly happen in the next time, at the latest when msysgit gets merged into stock git, which is planned. But in any case: 2GB "blobs" ought to be enough for anybody[TM], at least for flightgear. And for the very, *very* unlikely case that we need such before msysgit was fixed, Windows users could still switch to the cygwin flavor of git. (And who knows if CVS would be any better at taking such big files. :-) m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
