I fully agree that right now GIT is not suitable as you cannot do partial |
| 17 |
checkouts in time or directory dimensions. But it really is coming in the |
| 18 |
future. |

After the initial checkout (which sucks on wet-string+cans as well), GIT |
| 21 |
actually uses less bandwidth than CVS, because it doesn't need to send |
| 22 |
entire files back to the server to get diffs. It just uses rsync (where |
| 23 |
available) to pull over the new files (the actual revision data files |
| 24 |
never change once committed). |
