Given my experience with the mapserver git repo since last year (I only use it for the FG data), it would seem to me that what they actually mean is "WE don't work very well with large amounts of data" (or just as likely, don't want the disk space / bandwidth costs). In my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, git works very well indeed (far better than CVS) for our data tree and I'd be interested to hear any technical argument to the contrary... I very much hope that a suitable git-based host can be found. Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
