I've been asked to setup & host a git repo of an "integration branch" of WebKit for our developers. So I expected it to work like so: git clone git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git git checkout -b test <Make a few small changes and commit> git-config remote.upload.url ssh://git.webvm.net/srv/git/webkit-test x61:~/aplix/test/WebKit% git push --thin -v upload test Pushing to ssh://git.webvm.net/srv/git/webkit-test Counting objects: 371612, done. Compressing objects: 100% (67851/67851), done. Writing objects: 11% (43886/371612), 25.32 MiB | 88 KiB/ However when uploading the branch it seems to upload _everything_ which is far too big and impractical. Couldn't it just somehow reference the remote branch and just publish the patch of the "small changes"? When doing a git-http-push instead of ssh, git resulted in a "Out of memory" error: 1. git clone git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git # Check it out 2. git checkout -b test # create a "test" branch and switch to it 3. echo blah >> ChangeLog # change something 4. git commit -a # commit that test change 5. git-config remote.upload.url http://moto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/moto.git # configure the upload url 6. git push upload test # fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed Was this the fault of the server(nox) or client(x61)? x61:~% git --version git version 1.5.4.5 nox:~% git --version git version 1.5.4.4 So is there some better way of publishing a branch? Without uploading the whole WebKit? I did try something else, that was to create a webkit repo on the server nox like so: nox:/srv/git/webkit% git --bare init --shared nox:/srv/git/webkit% git --bare fetch git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git master:master git fetch -f git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git master:master # again forcing updates And let developers branch from that. This proved a little cumbersome as I need to manually force updates to webkit trunk when developers asked me to do that. However once a developer cloned ssh://git.webvm.net/srv/git/webkit. Creating a test branch 'deleteme' and then `git push origin deleteme` was extremely fast. So I guess this is the right way to achieve my goals? Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated! -- 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
