Hi,
First of all, congratulations on makeing such a great version control
system. I love the storage model - in comparison with other systems, it
is just birantly simple and ingenious.
I started digging into the details and there is one thing that is really
bugging me - why is the name of a blob SHA1("$type $size\0$data") and
not SHA1("$data")? I mean, wouldn't it be beautiful if the name of the
blob would really just be the SHA1 of the uncompressed file content? :-)
Furthermore, is the header really necessary? Wouldn't it be
eqvivalently effective to put the blobs into own subdirectory? For
example: .git\objects\blob\22\22a3d28c5b2fca0eae83be1a2ed619e357f6a1e6
So the blob would contatin just be the compressed content and nothing
else - beautiful :-)
I would really appriciate some comments on the design decisions so that
I can sleep well at night :-)
David
