It's really not *that* awful. If you clone it once and then just use 'git fetch' for all future downloads, the amount of data you'll download is pretty tiny. Another option would be to just host a copy of your repo somewhere else; maybe repo.or.cz will do it for you, since they have a mirroring feature. (I haven't checked if repo supports git-archive or not.) Avery -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
