a 2GB git repo (without any binaries) probably has 4-5 million objects and will take a few GB of memory to clone and will otherwise be slow for status and other commands.
- pm24601 12y agoSure. So what? Most repos I am dealing with are less than 200m. The problem of 1-2 gigabytes with millions of objects is simply not a big problem for most startups companies. Larger companies have the resources to solve this "problem".

- pm24601 12y agoalso if this was the case I would make a second git repo a filtered version of the complete git repo. Sure it is a "hack" but it is an engineering solution to an engineering problem. Not all engineering solutions need to be idealized perfection.
