In the post he mentions the > following figures: > [0] http://theflamingbanker.blogspot.com/2008/07/holy-war-of-tool-choice.html I have poked him on #pidgin, and he has added the following: "Note: It's come to my attention that I had missed the ability to share a git database across multiple working copies. In that scenario, the total size of the database and 11 working copies is slightly under 750 MB, and thus a space savings in the neighborhood of 150 MB over monotone. It had been my understanding that I needed a copy of the database per working copy. I stand corrected. I don't use git on a daily basis, as the projects I work with currently use CVS, SVN, or monotone, so I am bound to miss finer details of git here and there. There are other reasons I prefer to stick with monotone, but I won't get into them here, as they're not important to the point of this post." So I'm happy ;). -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
