Hello, I am investigating the use of Git in a setting where we: 1. branches a lot 2. have a very large codebase Given Git is developed to handle these 2 issues, I suspect it would be a very good choice, but I need to gather some experiments feedback and hard figures on how Git performs (storage use, necessary bandwidth/resources, maintainance of repositories, cleanup & gc...). For the experiment part, I am started working on it but would be interested in other people's experiences. For the figures part, I think I read somewhere there exists some statistics on Git usage for Linux kernel. Is this correct ? If true, where could I find them ? Thanks in advance for answering my (maybe pointless) questions and for producing such a nice piece of software.
the one thing that I have seen P4 reported as handling better than git is the case where the repository is very large. this is typically not caused by lots of lines of code, but by checking in lots of binary blobs to the repository.
