The way I work is to copy the current repo to a local directory and use
as main server
<Server localrepo>
Type = filesymlnk
Serverpath = repo
</Server>
Whatever I do in the local directory it won't clash with changes in git vice
versa I will not crash git :)
So if we do have two repos (one for the sources, one for the buildtool.* and
patches etc) I prefer that buildtool will be able to still use local
directories (in the first place) and only download from SF if sources are
missing.
The main advantage using a local repo without the need to download more files
than just checkouts are speed when doing rebuilds and offline developement.
Maybe I have to adjust the way I work, maybe you can refine the proposal to
adjust to my habits?
Anyone with another idea how to keep the git repo small, fullfill SF
requirements to provide the sources as well and to have a fast buildenv
without the need to download the big sources files for each rebuild?
