fossil-mirror

There is something fishy with the repo on github. git repack -a -f -d du -sh .git 65M .git It's also significantly faster to clone after the repack: time git clone --mirror https://github.com/drhsqlite/fossil-mirror 65.10s user 21.22s system 35% cpu 4:05.92 total time git clone --no-local fossil-mirror fossil-no-repack 26.92s user 2.99s system 155% cpu 19.190 total git -C fossil-mirror.git repack -a -f -d time git clone --no-local fossil-mirror fossil-repack 5.42s user 1.18s system 211% cpu 3.121 total Edit: took new measurements with --mirror on the first clone so that the "local" clones actually get all the branches. Also: git gc --aggressive du -sh .git 42M .git

I think [0] indicates that it does scale quite well, you can even test by comparing the 2. You can go from cloning to pushing on a repo in half the time. There's branches as well, so while the /timeline[1] seems too busy, you can always drop back to a forum or the bug tracker, which it has already. time fossil clone https://fossil-scm.org/ time git clone https://github.com/drhsqlite/fossil-mirror My results were fossil time > real 5m43.120s user 2m56.532s sys 0m48.246s ls -lh > 60M fossil-scm.fossil git time > real 10m35.043s user 5m58.427s sys 1m10.555s du -sh fossil-mirror/.git/ > 829M [0]: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/stats.wiki [1]: https://fossil-scm.org/home/timeline
