Interesting idea. With bzip2 it actually drops to about 600 bytes (I suspect we could get it even smaller by writing a custom program to generate it, but it's diminishing returns). I think there are some other portability issues, though (like does the receiving tar actually support 64GB sizes). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
