That's an interesting question. I don't know the answer, but somebody should research it -- maybe there's a fix. My guess is that however history was uploaded to git short circuited git's various compression and delta schemes. Git, for example, tracks files by hash, not date, so files unchanged from commit to commit and branch to branch aren't duplicated. Other systems keep full copies of everything. Maybe in the long path from CVS this didn't happen. But you're right, the Firebird repository is huge, but it was huge before git. My last snapshot took about forever on an extremely fast line. Maybe this can be fixed, maybe not. And if not, maybe history can be truncated with stuff bordering on the archaeological stored in a different repository from the merely historical. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
