There are better solutions for the disk space problem. In the past, projects such as XFree86 used symbolic links to create shadow copies of directories: http://xfree86.org/4.3.0/lndir.1.html That way, you can have two separate source trees and only use about the same disk space than with a single one. Git clone uses hard links when the source and clone repositories are on the same filesystem. That also prevents using twice the space. For my part, I'm using filesystem deduplication; even if I cp files, they only take space once on the disk. > So, I'm fine with removing 350. I'll push the commit then :-) -- Francois Tigeot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
