Those "enterprise configuration > management repositories" are not what Git was designed for indeed, but Especially when no sane developer will put in his repository the toolchain (pre-compiled. For all supported platforms!), all the supporting tools (like grep, find, etc.Pre-compiled _and_ source), the in-house framework (pre-compiled and source, again), firmware (pre-compiled and put in the repository weekly), and operating system code (pre-compiled, with firmware-specific drivers, updated, you guessed it, weekly), and well, there is the project itself (Java or C++, and documentation in .doc and .xls)... Now, what kind of self-hating idiot will design a system for that kind of abuse? (And if someone says that's is not true in the most enterprise f$%cking configurations, he definitely hasn't had to live through big enough number of them). -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
