Hey, I'm quite curious to know if moves/renames duplicate the file
content in the repository (and hence grow the repository size) or if
they just change the location of the content. I want to drastically
reorganize a repository and I'm wondering if will double it in size.
Thanks,
- Simon

No it wont. Git uses a content addressable storage. And since in a
rename the content doesnt change....

It wont double its size, but it will grow a little: the tree objects
which contain names of the data (the file names) will be all changed.

Great thanks! I suspected that was the case.
