Agreed in general. But in this specific case, a basic rsync cron job that backs up "/fast_and_local_home/john" to NFS-mounted "/home/john/backup_of_local" is just one simple line. And it can be forgotten about. It is a very cheap, simple and effective optimization. Much cheaper than making every single git tool on earth cater for the slower performance of a network file system. > Anyway, this is the magit mailing list, not the NFS pro/con list ;) > Let's drop this particular subject. I agree with Dave that it is not so much off topic. It is not specific to NFS but more generally about supporting git repos on slower, network file systems.
