Hi Phillip, thanks for the pointers. I did not know about fast-import/export, I’ll have a look as streaming is what I need :) As far as pack streams, is this what you refer to https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Transfer-Protocols ? I’ve read it this morning, not sure yet if it’ll do but it’s one more tool in my box which might be handy.
I’ll check the first option, thanks again.
