Hello, I know it was on topic several times before, but today this problem also came to me.
I have a project tracked by git, which contained source code for both a binary and a library. The library had several relatively large (~30 MB each, ~400 MX total) data files, which were generated by an external program, and will never be modified later. As the project matured, it turned out that the library can be a standalone product, so we have moved data/ into lib-src/, and “exported” that directory to a separate repository with git-subtree. We don’t plan to merge them together any more. This, however, made the checkout of the binary’s repository a bit slow, as the index still holds these files. Some additional information: before the subtree operation, the binary was more like a test suite for the library, only the last few commits may contain relevant (e.g. code that is still in the binary) changes to both the binary and the lib. My question is: is it a good idea to remove these now quasi-unused files from the index?
