Subject: How Blobs Work ( Blobs Vs. Deltas)
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:14:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16946e800809300814v134a42dft37becdbd8aa7669a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I was reading about git objects on The Git
Book(http://book.git-scm.com/1_the_git_object_model.html) which was
posted on the mailing list a while back and I was wondering something
about blobs and how files are stored in any particular version. If
file A is changed from version one to version two there are two
different blobs that exist for the two versions of the file, is that
correct? The Book was saying Git does not use delta storage so does
this mean that there are two almost identical copies of the file with
the difference being the change that was put in from version one to
version two?
