I would strongly advise against this. We get quite a few people on the #git IRC channel who have had Dropbox corrupt their repo. It seems it has a habit of zeroing or deleting objects, leaving the repo in an unrecoverable state. To be fair, we haven't had (that I've seen) someone with this issue for a few months, so Dropbox might have fixed their issues. However, I'd still urge extreme caution. Cloud storage services such as Ubuntu One appear to have this problem also. Antony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
