Hi! How about using Google's repo-tool instead of submodules? Is that a better solution if one really needs to keep binaries together (in some way) with the source code? We are starting to prototype Git and since we need to distribute cross-compilers with the code it would be nice to keep it in a separate repo. Currently we are _heavy_ ClearCase users (oh the horror) with many bad old habits that we are trying to break :) // Peter -----Original Message----- From: git-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:git-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthieu Moy Sent: den 6 april 2011 13:06 To: Pau Garcia i Quiles Cc: Git Mailing List; Johannes Schindelin Subject: Re: blobs (once more) Pau Garcia i Quiles <pgquiles@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > I have read about: > - submodules + using different repositories once one "blob repository" > grows too much.

This seems to be the hot topic of the moment in Git ;-). Loot at the mailing-list's archive, like http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170649 https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2011Ideas#Better_big-file_support there may be a GSoC on the topic. I don't think there's a really good solution for you right now (but I didn't really look closely), but the situation is improving. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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 -- 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
