So, for me the switch to git went very smoothly. I havent moved to etcupdate yet, but will probably do that soon. Hopwever I did hit one issue. What I do is to build on a single machine, and then send that to a number of places using rsync. But what seems to happen wuth git is that it has a big pack file of objects, and the name of the opack file is the SHA1 of whatever is inside it. So if something chnages then the filename chnages - and thus rsync tries to move the entire lot all over again, even if the change is tiny. Does anyone have a solution to this ? Currently I am telling rsync to ignore .git when it sends the source, but am not entirely happy with that. But apart from that, git works fine ;) -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Why are you not happy with ignoring .git? It sounds like a pretty reasonable thing to do for your setup. Otherwise (if you keep the .git dir) there is nothing you can do about this (AFAIK) and you will rsync quite some data now and then.
