That would ease the pain.
Bittorrent does not lend itself well to frequently-changing files or collections thereof - each time the git repository ip updated, a new metadata file would need to be created, and distributed, and you'd lose all the seeds who don't bother to get the new one every time it changes. Moreover, I imagine some clients would have problems with more than 900 or so files due to open file limits. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBQl2lsXhF4rlE0/81AQMEZA/+MtAwhLVBGbjIGMG4911/Q4tL+RZCni2Z 9wCM2/1Acca7CUeYJOX3bFqx/HMlVyzTN/DFyz7oQbngNrcOFaO4xqHwDT9iVpUB x1fE2Ct1BXOOnAQEzjEoogKrjWuYiy2tkcsFNMFoef0qV9U8olwwtUgXG8+dOQSZ gEPocjFmEJLMxhNxdnigW2R1KWgJ0IoFmpIWxDUnpQGBg/dfVxtI4EQhR7FgZwch O9faPyMdHEct7WW4S8ysMcwGUyRg8J/nlgt413P66PSp9IJ5u8t/gUc0vVcDR0Bl QNO5Hf2kGe/tILYNMJOtQX8sGcKHC4mZJMsNlhs5Y0+GsD9/9JGj3lv69SM+kv92 5S3ePfArzNvnuoCCxS1iC+s1HZ8fyYXAPx6pVA3cs0/+QGv0LjeSZOCBWmh8vrl1 SD4MF6TPy4mdF1corQE1o8bCc/VP0cTnwBvyF6BpZeP9nipgrzLxM1PPTtDjyUDG B3VocEsieTyyzfl3hXJxGqFL3Txt6EbRU4AwYitONbTU5zMaQuEY4xBD+UWQJgAO K8rMXqONSoORWrZVuRyrTmFr/z6zq00BpwQy7BbHuwEXHSPvc/e4UHtk8wNYyY13 LAi2jgMGmGckwucauqZY5Y3mDaOh2m9+0x8hIvvnmLPQC91cVsuerKiKYzjYJ4/4 qsnhjobIq1s= =ZiJ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
