Everything in linux-2.6/.git was downloaded; but then you do a checkout which happens to approximately double the size of the linux-2.6 directory. If you do git-clone -n, you'll get a closer estimate to the size of the download. I suppose git-clone should grow a -v option that it could pass to rsync to let us find out how many bytes are actually transferred, but i'm happy to go with 250MB as a close estimate to the amount of data to xfer. When you compare it to the 60MB tarballs that are published, it's really not that bad. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
