Dear diary, on Tue, Apr 12, 2005 at 06:05:19AM CEST, I got a letter where David Eger <eger@havoc.gtf.org> told me that... > So with git, *every* changeset is an entire (compressed) copy of the > kernel. Really? Every patch you accept adds 37 MB to your hard disk? > > Am I missing something here?
Yes. Only changes files re-appear. The unchanged files keep the same SHA1 hash, therefore they don't re-appear in the repository.
So, if Linus gets a patch which sanitizes drivers/char/selection.c, only these new objects appear in the repository:
drivers/char/selection.c drivers/char drivers . (project root) commit message
Kind regards,
