My problem is git-clone though since for commit it's no big deal to git commit [a-c]* , or use xargs as a workaround For git clone I got this Deltifying 144511 objects. 100% (144511/144511) done 1625.375MB (1713 kB/s) 1729.057MB (499 kB/s) /usr/bin/git-clone: line 321: 24360 File size limit exceededgit-fetch-pack --all -k $quiet "$repo" again after git repack and don't see how to work around that aside from artifically splitting the tree at the top or resorting to a tarball on an ftp site. That 64 bit indexing code you previously mentioned would force me to upgrade git on both ends? Anywhere I can pull it out from? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo!
