I did this with a large pile of tarballs, see http://blogs.gnome.org/view/mortenw/2007/01/07/0 for the script. Bottom line: git is very, very good at compressing a pile of related tarballs. In fact, about 10x better than gzip. (Not really surprising, of course.) - 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
