Hi Martin, Thanks, but my problem is not the difference between the size of the source in the git-repository and the tar-file made from the same source. Obviously tther will be differences depending on the compressing-algorithm used by tar and git.
My problem is the difference between 2 tar-files. One made from the source before committing and pushing, and the second tar, made from the same source after cloneing and checking-out. I would expect them to be the same size (apart from small differences due to .gitignore etc). But an 20% increase is too much !
