Git pulls full history to a common ancestor on the clone/pull. So the first pull on a repo *will* necessarily pull in the full object history. So unless you have a recent common ancestor, it will pull lots. Note that because git uses crypto hashes to identify objects, my conversion and Martin's probably do not have a recent common ancestor (because my header munging probably doesn't match Martin's exactly). > The interesting thing is that exactly the same problem occurs with > both if your mirrors... > > Any ideas? Or is this just how things are supposed to work? Until you have a local repository of it, you'll need to go through the full pull/clone. If you're really not interested in history you can "truncate" history with the --depth option to git clone. That will give you a "shallow repository", which you can use, develop, branch, etc in, but won't give you all the history locally. Also - what version of GIT are you using? I *really* recommend using at least 1.5 (1.5.2.X is current stable). Please, do your self a favour, and don't use 1.4.4. a. -- Aidan Van Dyk Create like a god, [EMAIL PROTECTED] command like a king, http://www.highrise.ca/ work like a slave.
