On second thought, I don't know, maybe it could work if this sort of individual object sending is based on bup. Bup splits files into small pieces. Common parts of files are likely shared, reducing the need to delta. But then you would deal with a huge number of small blobs. -- 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
