Interesting, as I was talking with others on a related solution to a similar issue of priming the well for large clones. The basic idea is to allow a site automatically to redirect fresh-clone clients to a URL to HTTP reachable mirror network, and force them to grab a bundle, extract it and then re-contact the server for only incremental updates relative to the bundle (and of course that exchange would happen inside the updated client without end-user intervention). -- 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
