This is an automated process taking snapshots of rapidly changing files containing statistical data.

That would be 5 to 10 changed files per commit, and those are passed to git commit explicitly (i.e., walking the tree to stat files for finding changes is not necessary). -Samuel -- 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
