Even rsync and HTTP cg-clones? git:// and git+ssh:// fetching follows an almost entirely different code patch and it's much more efficient since I just accumulate the tag object ids I want to check and then pour them to git-fetch-pack - I cannot do that with git-(local|http)-fetch. :-( -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.
