I see. Here are some numbers for fillets-ng-data: compressed tar.gz: 100M uncompressed: 127M CVS checkout: 131M (working dir) imported to Git: 228M (working dir) imported to Svn: 288M (working dir) debian/ alone is only 60K. As I understand it, having the compressed orig + the uncompressed tree temporarily, while preparing the upload of game $X, is acceptable for you, but having them present all the time is not feasible, due to the size. There's not much that can be done about that, so I retract my intent for converting filets-ng[-data] to Git. Obviously I underestimated the impact.

No offense taken. Thank you for pointing me to the problems associated with my proposal. I still don't rule out the possibility of upgrading fillets-bg[-data] myself at some point if noone beats me to it :) -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
