After a few days please review that comment of yours. Could anybody in an internet conversation really know all details of your constraints?
Maybe, maybe(!) there is an argument were you would need to version huge binaries which you could generate out of the same already versioned sources, but even if there is, there are methods to backup huge blobs, and git is simply not one of them.
- Xylakant 12y ago> Could anybody in an internet conversation really know all details of your constraints? No - nor do they need to. But everybody on the internet could just assume that _I_ know them and refrain from saying that "I'm doing something dumb" and "refuse to learn new tools". So I'd also ask you to review the comment of yours - you're doing the same thing - you imply that "Maybe, maybe(!)" there might be a use-case, so as a matter of fact you doubt I did review and choose my tools. I reviewed my comment, and I'm at peace with it.
- s73v3r 12y agoIn that case, why did the parent poster assume anyone trying to check in a large binary file is "an idiot"?
- erikb 12y agoThe "idiot" part of course is wrong. But if you understand a technology and then use it for something it is explicitly bad at, than it's objectively a bad idea. The chance is very low that you would not be able to solve a binary sharing/backup problem with another tool that's made for these tasks.
