Hi, I'm (ab)using Git to store my media files, i.e. digicam pictures (*.jpg) and the like. This way I can e.g. comment a series of pictures without installing and learning a special purpose "Photo Archiving" tool. Gitk shows the roadmap! Somewhere I read that Git isn't supposed to efficiently handle binary files. Of course, I don't want to merge my files, just store them with their history and git-push them to some "safe place". I figured that pushing and git gc'ing both try to compress those files (or differences) really hard. Works great for "regular" files, but is pointless with jpegs. Question: Is there a way to prevent Git from trying to compress certain files based on their extension? -- Dirk -- 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
