How's Fossil do with large binaries? We've got a 24GB git repo and it's...not the greatest. (Not terrible, either, but not great.)

- jaccarmac 9y agoAlso not the greatest in my (very limited) experience. Everything is stored in one SQLite file. Thus at a certain size the problems which SQLite has with large data start to show up in your repository.
- gecko 9y agoIn the same order of magnitude as Git. The only DVCS I’ve seen handle this well is Mercurial, and then only when you’re using all the Facebook plugins (like remotefilelog) that effectively re-centralize it. (This is also the same conceptual direction Microsoft’s going with their Git VFS; I just don’t think they’re as far along yet.) Honestly, there are times Subversion’s a fine option. If your repo is 24GB, you may be in one those times.
- dilap 9y agoThe pain of git at 24GB isn't too bad -- still better off than using svn, I'd say.
- dgsb 9y agoDid you think using git-annex or git-lfs ?
