This is no longer true? I checked out PLplot using git (master branch) and svn (trunk), which I believe to be roughly equivalent and the sizes are: (svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/plplot/code/trunk plplot) SVN: 36.2MB (43.8MB on disk) (git clone https://github.com/HazenBabcock/PLplot.git) GIT: 40.1MB (44.0MB on disk) I'm pretty sure that there is nothing like a detached repository mode. Everything is local as they say. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
