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 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
