Hi,
I have a private repository on my laptop and for backup purposes
only, I created a remote repository to push to.
I created the remote repo in two ways:
1. git-clone --bare
I used git-clone --bare to create a bare repository with a copy of my
work and rsync'ed that to the remote server
2. git init a bare repo and git push --all
I created a empty bare repository with
mkdir project_backup
GIT_DIR=project_backup git init
and then pushed my work to it:
cd project
git push --all ../project_backup
and rsync'ed the project_backup directory.
I see the same number of objects and the same branches on both bare
repositories, but the first one created with git-clone uses a lot
more space, even after git-repack -d -a on both.
I'm still learning the internals of git, but I could not find any
explanation for this. Care to enlighten me?
Thanks in advance,
