Hi all,

actually the size of the git repository (i'm speaking of the "database" not the 
checkout) is about 3.5GB. It's really too big.
The problem is that the "database" contain ALL the versions of "tar source 
files".
So if someone need to clone our repository, he need to download at least 3.5GB 
of data.

What i propose is to remove all the external source tar files from the history 
and put them (at least the last one) in another git repository on SF.
The source tar files will be download (if needed) from this new git repository 
(using the http protocol). With this, the bering-uclibc will contain only 
textfiles and some patch, and i think it will take only some MB.
We will continue to create a sources.tgz file when we release a new version to 
meet the requirements of SF.

What do you think about this idea ? If you are ok, i can made the process to 
"clean" the repository and update the buildtool.cfg files to change the repo 
from local to SF.

Regards,
Yves
