Subject: On Tracking Binary Files
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 10:42:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7efce40a0904140742i48aad41ds66de5dfe368f3b16@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7efce40a0904140741w28da9b54ucfe4b54bf48b0844@mail.gmail.com>

Does Git track the deltas on binary files?

Someone in #git mentioned that if the binaries change too much Git no
longer just stores the changes. If this is the case, what is the
breaking point where Git goes from storing the deltas to the entire
new file?

Thanks, Patrick
