[DD] Read this old thread [1], I get the impression that git supports deltas both during network transfers, and in the remote repo, but chooses performance by default over disk-space, by keeping full copies of files. But git does support delta-compression, even across "files" apparently. So I guess it's more the matter of DCVS' in general forcing you to get the whole repos, that is the main drawback of storing large files in them. But I'm definitely out of my depth here, so I'll stop here :). --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
