I'm trying to package a linux kernel source tree and would like to just tar up a tree with .git/. However this is a bit problematic as the size of tgz is about 500M which exceeds the limit of the image I'm trying to produce. I was wondering if anyone had a means to reduce the size drastically. I'm ok if a post processing step is required to get full git support. One idea I had was doing a shallow clone and if there was some means to "reconnect" it to a full work state after the fact. thanks - k-- 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
