How much does it consume if it's a svn checkout? I heard (don't know if it's true or not) git repo usually takes less diskspace then svn checkout. This page seems to support this claim: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSvnComparsion "An SVN working directory always contains two copies of each file: one for the user to actually work with and another hidden in .svn/ to aid operations such as status, diff and commit. In contrast a Git working directory requires only one small index file that stores about 100 bytes of data per tracked file. On projects with a large number of files this can be a substantial difference in the disk space required per working copy." -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
