Subject: tracking binary files
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:16:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090219031602.GD20416@b2j> (raw)

I would like to use git to track some database files of sizes from 1MB
to 50MB.  I want to know does git compress them for storage or not.
If so, what will be the expected compression ratio.  Those files
normally compressed to 25% of original size using zip.
