Yeah, I'm facing the same issue. I started playing with git last night. Apart from disk-space usage, it's very nice, though I really hope someone puts together a web-interface on top of git soon so we can seek what changed when and by whom.
Disk space issues? A complete git repository of the Linux kernel with all changesets back to 2.4.0 takes just over 3G ... which is big compared to BK, but 3G of disk only costs about $1 (for IDE ... if you want 15K rpm SCSI, then you'll pay a lot more). Network bandwidth is likely to be a bigger problem.
That said, is there any plan to change how this functions in the future to solve these problems? I.e. have it not use so much diskspace and thus use less bandwith. Am I misunderstanding in assuming that after
say 1000 commits go into the tree it could end up several megs or gigs bigger?
If that is the case might it not be more prudent to sort this out now?
There's a prototype web i/f at http://grmso.net:8090/ that's already looking fairly slick.
Yes it is very slick. Kudos to the creator.
