I agree here, we should either say "look, we don't really support big repositories because [explanation here], unless you [workarounds here]" OR we should work to improve the support we do have. Of course, the latter option does not magically create developer time to work on that, but if we do go that way we should at least tell people that we are aware of the problems and that it's on the global TODO list (not necessarily on anyone's personal TODO list though). Of course, the problem can sometimes be solved by splitting the repository, but I think it is important to have an official policy here, do we want Git to support huge repositories, or do we not? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
