It's "receiving objects", thanks... @ 50 KiB/s, it will take a while. On a related note, if I clone both g...@git.lyx.org:lyx and g...@git.lyx.org:developers/tommaso/lyx(assuming this was created with "ssh g...@git.lyx.org fork lyx developers/tommaso/lyx")on my laptop, will those 2 clones share the same common patches (and save my local disk space) or not ?No, but they would if you first cloned "git clone g...@git.lyx.org:developers/tommaso/lyx lyx" and then git clone --reference lyx g...@git.lyx.org:developers/tommaso/lyx lyx-tommaso then they would share a lot. However lyx-tommaso would also depend on lyx and you could never delete that without wrecking lyx-tommaso.
I just followed the receipt (not for my own repo, but for checking out the 2.0.x branch in a separate folder -- I prefer keeping it like this), and I added also "--shared", which I guess is the part that makes the new repo actually depending on the other repo. The disk-space saving is not that much, as I hoped:
239M lyx 90M lyx-2.0.xhowever, still it's better than another 239 MB, and especially the network-bandwidth as well as the download-time saving was impressive :-)!
I took the freedom to add this receipt to the instructions in http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/LyXGit (last item of "Cloning the Repository"), assuming others might find it useful.
