Hi Zdenek,

I assumed that LVM thin snapshots would work like git branches.
Since git also uses diffs on the backend, and git is popular with developers, the same kind of behaviour seems reasonable to me.


Hi

There is very good reason why the git is not really a good tool for storing binary data...

Your use-case is 'very specific' sub-case of many different usability scenarios you can do with lvm2 - so while you might see some potential benefit if the lvm2 would work more closely to git logic,
it would look terrible in many other situations.
