I am not sure how to correctly troubleshoot this. I just noticed that my /var/log/xferlog file is huge. There are no files in /etc/logrotate.d/ for xferlog. This is what leads me to believe that it isnot rotating. Or perhaps I do not have it set to rotate. I am not sure. I am running CentOS r

You could perhaps start your search surrounding inotify type monitors and tie them into some auto-commit... Something like what you're doing may run the realm of custom coding. Sorry I can't be of more help. On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Joseph L. Casale wrote: >>Git and Gitweb? > > Thought
