Only if you want the full history - you have a choice. For example... git clone --depth 8 https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal fpc-3.1.1 ...will only have a history of 8 commits per branch after the initial checkout. This took 18 seconds on my system. I’m based in the UK, and I gather Github is in the USA somewhere. That time is just the initial checkout. After that you do a ‘git pull’ and it will take 1-3 seconds to update with the latest code changes. The actual download size is minimal, as git only downloads compressed commit deltas after the initial clone. > In the other side, IMO git has advantages that outweight this drawback. +1000 But that’s not for this discussion.
