There's no reason for everyone to have to clone all that and carry it around on disk.
$ git clone https://github.com/vim/vim ... $ cd vim $ du -hs .git . 685M .git 47M . $ git gc --aggressive ... $ du -hs .git . 34M .git 47M . For reference, are similar numbers for a fresh Mercurial clone: $ du -hs .hg . 55M .hg 47M . I'm not sure if there's something that can be done so that the initial git clone has similar results as the post-gc results, but an extra 34M of disk space isn't worth the added complexity of juggling multiple repos. Note that I also find bisecting to be very useful and have used it many times when working on Vim, so I am also in the camp of not hampering that functionality because of a one time cost. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
