SVN allows to checkout a subdirectory of a repository, so it was easy to checkout the po/ subdirectories only. In Git, this is not possible. The move to Git requires to update our translation workflows. What I would suggest is to try to clone the repositories of the GNOME release, and keep those on your system. We now know the figures; the GNOME 2.26 Git repositories would take about 2.6GB on your disk. If you were to download these files in a compressed .tar.bz2, the file would be around 1.6GB. It would be quite straightforward to use a download manager and get a 1.6GB file. Then, you can use 'git pull --rebase' to easily update them when you need to. You can find the individual sizes of the repositories at http://blogs.gnome.org/simos/2009/04/18/git-clones-vs-shallow-git-clones/ Simos _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
