A lot (just found out as I was pushing subtree clone as far as I could). For merging, you can hardly limit sha1 access. When writing tree, git's particularly paranoid and check for sha1 existence (has_sha1_file and assert_sha1_type). You can find that has_sha1_file is used in many places, not just commit/write-tree. Narrow/Sparse/Subtree/Lazy/Whatever-it-is clone will have hard time.. Oh.. the lazy one does not. -- Duy -- 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
