Hi all, I was talking with Sijis in IRC about ways to help improve clone times for the git repo. Looking at the repo on hosted, it could really benefit from a git repack. This takes all the loose object files and puts them neatly into .pack files. It also optimizing them based on how they change from commit to commit.
I did this on a copy and shrank the git repo from 431M to 225M (this excludes the size of the checked out files -- it's basically the size of the .git dir in a clone). I could do this on the official repo if we wanted. It would mean disabling the repo for a short time (half an hour at most). Anyone see a reason not to do this? -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
