Subject: Incremental object transfer
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 11:34:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101112103427.GA29057@nibiru.local> (raw)
Hi folks,
as already said some time ago, I'm using git to back up maildirs
on a machine w/ relatively low ram. The biggest problem for now
is the initial push (maybe later larger subsequent pushes could
be also affected too): it takes quite a long time to get everything
packed, and if the connection breaks (the box is sitting behind
a dynamic-IP DSL link), everything has to be restarted :(
So my idea is to incrementally transfer objects in smaller packs,
disable gc on remote side and update refs when some commit is
complete.
Is there any way to do this ?
thx
