Yeah, I'm facing the same issue. I started playing with git last
night. Apart from disk-space usage, it's very nice, though I really
hope someone puts together a web-interface on top of git soon so we
can seek what changed when and by whom.
Disk space issues? A complete git repository of the Linux kernel with
all changesets back to 2.4.0 takes just over 3G ... which is big compared
to BK, but 3G of disk only costs about $1 (for IDE ... if you want 15K rpm
SCSI, then you'll pay a lot more). Network bandwidth is likely to be a
bigger problem.
That said, is there any plan to change how this functions in the future
to solve these problems? I.e. have it not use so much diskspace and
thus use less bandwith. Am I misunderstanding in assuming that after
say 1000 commits go into the tree it could end up several megs or gigs
bigger?
If that is the case might it not be more prudent to sort this out now?
There's a prototype web i/f at http://grmso.net:8090/ that's already looking
fairly slick.
Yes it is very slick. Kudos to the creator.
