Umm, no. there are *no* ,v files in my working copies (I just

how you can work offline for doing things like 'svn diff'. But it
makes the repo quite ugly, in fact. Running recursive grep on a
subversion working copy is quite nasty.
`git grep` to avoid this issue with Git.
Well, it looks like the extra storage for my current 6 (soon to be
7) working copies of postgres over the CVS equivalents would cost
something over 100Mb each. I know disk space is cheap but that's
kinda sad. The volume of info kept in CVS metadata files is
insignificant. Saying they are the same is just not so.
Is it possible for multiple working sets to share the same GIT_DIR?
FWIW, I've found that my Bricolage repository in Git was far smaller
than it was in Subversion. You can also `git gc` to get the size down.
I would be surprised if all of the checkouts together were over 100MB,
especially if you're sharing files between them.
Best,
David
