Interesting data points. Can you get these related data points too? - relevant for those with limited internet bandwidth (as is the case for some translators): * amount of data transfered over the wire for initial full git clone * amount of data transfered over the wire for shallow git clone * amount of data transfered over the wire for CVS clone * disk space used for CVS clone Should be possible to get the git data by cloning from yourself via localhost: URL (to ensure that git does not use hardlink optimixations). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
