One of the main issues there is that the Gentoo dir tree seems to be very flat. The kernel tree is huge, but much deeper, and does not have a huge top-level directory -- and git handles it fairly well. Perhaps the Gentoo tree can be rearranged to be more nested? If your devs strongly prefer a flat view of it, that could be arranged with symlinks. Alternatively, each port can be in its own repo, and you can make a "top level repo" using git submodules -- this is what Fedora/RH is exploring at the moment. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- 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
