Even if I spend 6 days doing git, you'd never have thrown away BK in exchange for git.

CVS and SVN are already an order of magnitude more efficient than git at storing and exporting the data and they shouldn't annoy you during the checkins either, they have a backend much more efficient than git too, and yet you seem not to care about them.
My suggestion was simply to at least change git to coalesce the diffs like CVS/SCCS, I'm only making a suggestion to give git a chance to have a backend at least as efficient as the one that CVS uses and to avoid running rsync on a 2.8G uncompressible blob. I don't have enough spare time to do something myself, my spare time would be too short anyway to make a difference in SCM space, so I'd rather spend it all in more innovative space where it might have a slight change to make a difference. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
