Hello. I've just stopped my update of jsonn/src because it is the third month in a row that it seems to rebuild the entire repository from scratch, downloading ~860 MB of data. I'm happy to have the possibility of having a git(1) NetBSD repository around, and i'm looking into it quite often (and not seldom that includes history lookups).
It would be interesting to know what the problem is behind rebuilding the entire repo over and over again -- neither of FreeBSD (well, once because of the converter bug) nor the Estonian OpenBSD git(1) mirror do have these problems. (And DragonFly is native, of course.) Is it because you are developing your own converter? Is it to be expected that the situation changes? How can i know? I only have a rather slow, rather unstable (depends on environment) wireless internet connection, and one of the great things of git(1) is that i only get those changesets that i want (trunk) and that are not already included locally. Thankful for any hint -- and ciao, --steffen
