I'm likely going to have to slam graphics files into the main repo in
the very near future. It sounds like once git.git is updated for
big-file optimization I can just upgrade to that git version and repack
to get the benefits. Any idea when that version of git will come out
release number wise and calendar wise?

You may throw-up from nausea or choke from laughing.)
(I am forced to deal with a mandated/micromanaged change control menu
design from the powers-that-be that is based on cvs workflow and to
wipe-your-nose-for-you. It can't even cope with branches much less
submodules so in that context there isn't time to implement the graphics
tracking as a submodule. This change control menu is designed to
replace cvs commands with equivalent-results git-command sequences.
While there are many git users who import from svn into git, do their
work in git, and then export back into svn to get work done, ironically
I am probably the only git user who has to import from git
(powers-that-be mandated cvs-style menu controlled git-repo) into git
(separate normal git repo and commandline), do the work in normal git,
and then export it back into git (cvs-style menu controlled git-repo).)
v/r,
