Hello all, this has also been suggested on the wiki on https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users where I have just removed the suggestion in preparation for retiring that tutorial after the Proca release.
Here is my reasoning for removing the suggestion for now (if you disagree, please create a ticket here: https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets which will ensure that the suggestion is not lost with the wiki page), I had a look at the amount of data involved. The total amount of data in the .svn/pristine directories (compressed to a tarball), which is more or less what is sent over the wire, is 96MB. The content of EinsteinAnalysis' .git directory (after a git gc --prune --aggressive), which also is more or less what is sent over the wire, alone is also 96MB. This means that reducing the download size of the ExternalLibraries tarballs is not going to significantly reduce the download volume. Similarly all of the files in arrangements/ExternalLibraries are 200MB but all of the files in repos (all the non-ExternalLibraries code, except LORENE) is 600MB. It is even worse when one looks at a compiled Cactus tree which is ~4.3GB, making disk space savings by removing tarballs tiny. Looking at all downloaded data (using the same definitions as above), the total amount of downloaded data is around 360MB, giving a possible download speedup of 30% which, while potentially noticeable, is not very large given the effort required to remove the tarballs.
