There are many problems with "cautorized" repositories, some with the current implementation, some more fundamental ones. Such as what is the cut-off criterium? The MIPS git repository also contains the objects of Linus's tree [1]. So a tag like linux-2.6.15 as the line for truncation isn't working too well because I'll only truncate the Linux/MIPS history but that'll still leave all of Linus's tree - well over 130,000 objects - in the tree. Anyway, I'm trying to maintain a homebrew shallow variant of the tree for the time being until git provides a better instrument for the job. Ralf [1] Not Linus's tags to avoid confusion. They could easily be pulled from Linus tree into a separate branch. Similar for Marcelo's 2.4 tree.
