Carrying around a 1.7GB (Sorry, Khem, that's the size of my tar ball!) > is a bit much, especially when that's what I send to my customers... I've been hoping to find some time to do something with the fetcher to try and fix this corner we've ended up pinned into. Ideally I'd like to see both gcc and eglibc using git, we have git in ASSUME_PROVIDED and everything is optimal. I'm not going to reach the release point without doing something about this but I would like to stick with git if we can possibly help it. Having to build subversion-native for critical path components is a major pain and performance issue. Cheers, Richard
