If it is flat, then git does not use advantage of hierarchical tree structure. By the way, I guess that "nonconflicting merge" is trivial tree-level merge, as "no changes" merge should be faster (or fast-forward). About clone: there was "pack loose, copy existing packs" idea. I don't remember what happened with it. At least for local clone it would be nice. -- Jakub Narebski Poland - 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
