Are these the sizes of the .git directory when storing the files? Is it after running git gc? Git also compresses files so I wouldn't expect the db.sql to stay that big once committed. How big does the .git directory grow after committing multiple versions of db.sql? > I am trying to figure out which format to use.

I was considering git for archiving large source data files in a similar way, so I'm interested if this works for you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
