I havent moved to etcupdate yet, but will probably do that soon. Hopwever I did hit one issue. What I do is to build on a single machine, and then send that to a number of places using rsync. But what seems to happen wuth git is that it has a big pack file of objects, and the name of the opack file is the SHA1 of whatever is inside it. So if something chnages then the filename chnages - and thus rsync tries to move the entire lot all over again, even if the change is tiny. Does anyone have a solution to this ? Currently I am telling rsync to ignore .git when it sends the source, but am not entirely happy with that. But apart from that, git works fine ;) -pete.
