By the looks of it I get the impression that the git clone will download every single tag/branch/commit etc ever done and then the git checkout activates the actual tagged file set? If this is correct then the size on disk will be too big. Now as I said I have not used git and for my day use cannot switch because we use properties of svn that are simply not available in git... I *really* do not want to revert to getting fpc/lazarus from the distro manager via apt and therefore be stuck with old code decided by someone else. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
