If you really want to share as much as possible, then I guess you want to share the working trees too, since (as evidenced above), they're at least as large as the compressed history. Though actually on a second look, clone -l -s produces something that's only 377M. I hadn't realized how much space the build output takes up. So judging from du the 1.5G Guennadi Liakhovetski mentions above seems to break down into something like: 330M .git 380M working tree 750M build output --b. - 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
