I've not W> measured W> ports. I really like this plan. So before checkout .git is 337M and after checkout it is 975M, which is made by actual sources + .git. Let's go forward with shipping this bare clone + optional checkout for 15.0-RELEASE. We can ask if user wants to do the checkout, or just keep /usr/src/.git during the install process. For upgrades, we will just write new full /usr/src that includes .git on top of 14.x-RELEASE. That will consume +50% more space on upgraded installations. I'm pretty sure this is fine for those people who do install /usr/src, they already ain't doing a minimal installation. We will also put this in RELNOTES. -- Gleb Smirnoff
