That's the whole point. We need to discuss the impact of merging a field (path names) with an index (tree nodes) has on future things we may want to do with the data stored in git. Databases don't usually blend fields/indexes without also duplicating the field in the table. You need all the fields in the table so that it is possible to create indexes on other fields. > > -- > Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx > OP5 AB www.op5.se > Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 > -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - 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
