That's not hugely fundamental, but I didn't expect people to hit it this quickly. What kind of project has a 1.5GB pack-file _already_? I hope it's fifteen years of history (so that we'll have another fifteen years before we'll have to worry about 4GB pack-files ;) Linus - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
