Thread "Problem with large files on different OSes" reminds me this.
This series is in my repository for quite some time. It addresses
adding/checking out large blobs as long as:
- no conversion will be done
- blobs are loose (in checkout case)
Together with a patch that prevents large blobs from being packed
(something like Dana How sent long ago), and a modification of "lazy
clone/remote alternatives" patch to avoid packing large blobs again
for sending over network, I think it should make git possible for
large files.
Just something to play.
Nguy�n Thái Ng�c Duy (4):
convert.c: refactor in order to skip conversion early without looking
into file content
sha1_file.c: add streaming interface for reading blobs
write_entry: use streaming interface for checkout large files
index_fd: support indexing large files
cache.h | 10 +++
convert.c | 86 ++++++++++++++++++++---
entry.c | 68 +++++++++++++++++
sha1_file.c | 233 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
