git is not intended to handle large repositories, or anything that includes a lot of large binary files. There is no way it would work acceptably on even a moderate subset of Commons images. It bogs down on even very large source-code repositories, last I checked -- you're advised to split repositories up once they get too large. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
