Let's say you already have a copy of my tree from a month ago, and Linus<br>
has pulled some work from me into his tree, and repacked his tree into one<br>
single pack file. At the moment, the largest pack file from Linus is<br>
400MB plus a 50MB index.<br>
<br>
You already have most of the contents of that 400MB pack file, but if<br>
you're missing even _one_ object which is contained within it, git will<br>
have to download the _entire_ 400MB pack file and index file to retrieve<br>
it.<br>

I thought this has changed with "smart http" in git 1.6.6.<br>
Am I missing something?<br>
</blockquote>
Well, not all http repos offer smart http. E.g. Russell doesn't[1],<br>
probably because the serving machine doesn't have the power to nice<br>
serve a repo via git:// or smart http://.<br>

<br>
What is smart http? I don't particularly follow git developments.<br>
</blockquote></div></div>
It seems to be an implementation of the git protocol using<br>
HTTP as transport.<br>
Some info on this is at <<a href="http://progit.org/2010/03/04/smart-http.html" target="_blank">http://progit.org/2010/03/04/smart-http.html</a>>.<br><font color="#888888">
