I usually do wget -x -N -c <url> in ~/Net/http so I have the complete url to the file I'm viewing. Good if I want to communicate with others, tough it can be a little hard to find them again if I forgot their url... > I'm thinking of making a script to move those files out of the git controlled > directory > and link to them and version control the links.

What I like to do is to have a bookmark file inside the repo with url and title, like: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/1768s.pdf ARM920T-based Microcontroller AT91RM9200 http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/2502S.pdf ATmega8535L Summary http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/32003S.pdf AT32AP7000 Preliminary Summary Another thing I have thought about is to scan through my ~/Net/http for pdf files, extracting their text and put it in some search engine. I would be nice to be able to do something like: my_search axiom relay my_search national buck converter and get a list of urls I have downloaded, or why not my_search ... | while read a; do echo "$a"; xpdf "$a"; done > What do you do to avoid git repos bloat with changes of docs you are using > in the early phases of a project? If you do something like mkdir Todo echo Todo/ >> .gitignore git-commit -m 'Todo/ is a work area git should not care about' .gitignore then you have a work area *inside* the repo which git does not care about.
