i explicitly said before, there would be two repos: 1. main working repo, starts with ONLY initial commit. 40MB pack. 2. historical. read-only, you graft it to history to use. BOTH of these would have preferred download via git-bundle over HTTP/rsync. historical would NOT be available via clone due to cputime hit. please look up git-bundle before suggesting things like tarballs of repos/checkouts. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
