Hello,
I've got a big repository. I've got two computers. One has the repository
up-to-date (164M after repack); one is behind (30M ish).
I used git-fetch to try and update; and the sync took HOURS. I zipped
the .git directory and transferred that and it took about 15 minutes to
transfer.
Am I doing something wrong? The git-fetch was done with a git+ssh:// URL.
The zip transfer with scp (so ssh shouldn't be a factor).
This seems to happen if your repository consists of many large binary
files, especially many large binary files of several versions that do
not deltify well against each other. Perhaps it's worth adding gzip
compression detecion to git? I imagine more people than me are tracking
gzipped/bzip2'ed content that pretty much never deltifies well against
anything else.
