On servers with limit memory it is not piratical to run git gc. I can run git gc on a bare mirror and rsync back to the server. I would prefer to for go compress packing entirely for the large git repositories containing media files. Can I disable compression by file attribute via .gitattributes? I am trying to use git for all repositories to avoid a mix of version control methods. For media repositories I am using [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = false logallrefupdates = true compression = 0 loosecompression = 0 [pack] # disable delta-based packing depth = 1 # disable compression compression = 0 There is no problem with git pull and push Just git clone swaps the server to death > Make sure the remote repository is fully packed. To do so, just go into > the remote repository and run 'git gc'. > > > Nicolas > -- 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
