Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of using Git since we > can't really run nor can we compile files on our local machines? I don't know; you didn't say what was your purpose for using git. You can run git directly with files on a network drive, but it'll be much slower than it should be. You might argue that *that* defeats the purpose of using git too, since of the best features of git is how fast it is :) Have fun, Avery -- 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
