Makes sense; thanks. By the way, a somewhat funny exercise I found last night is this: $ cd /var/tmp $ mkdir -p foo.xz:pub/git.git $ cd foo.xz:pub/git.git $ git init $ git commit --allow-empty -m initial $ cd /var/tmp $ git clone foo.xz:pub/git.git x This does not work as the transfer phase wants to run ssh on it. -- 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
