Hi, I'm trying to use git for software distribution. The system is a directory of about 450mb comprising binaries, datafiles and scripts. The full repository is about 1.1gb. The users don't really need .git except when we login to pull upgrades for them. It would be nicer not to have the .git directory and just distribute patches which we would apply for our users. But "git am" needs (AFAIK) a full repository. Is there a way to apply a patch without .git being present? I can see the advantages of our users having the full repository, so maybe we should just distribute by DVD (currently we use CDs) and forget about it, but for download purposes, 450mb is nicer than 1.1gb.
