Okay, if you're going to be doing shallow clones, you may as well just get the dang tarballs. This is totally flying in the face of what the -git packages really are, development packages. Once you download it, you never have to again, just update it. If you've got a problem with the size, then somehow get a physical copy of it, or just take the time to get a revision, then keep it updated gradually.
no. because there is no snapshot tarball available all the time, we use git clone. On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 5:57 PM, William Giokas <1007380@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks William. But I dont think the discussion is deep as what we have right now. Apparently allan miscalculates how much we can save on using shallow clone. I tried linux/master yesterday, it is more like 600mb to 97mb.
