You may surprised at how little it adds. For example, git compressed the 2.6GB mozilla cvs tree down to 400MB. I used to clone trees all the time, but now I'm much better at using git and I haven't cloned a complete tree from kernel.org in a year. git remote is a cool feature. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@...il.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
