Re: [PATCH] mk/git-package.mk (Re: migrate to git for emacs-current (24.0.50) ?

Greg,
Thanks for the response, I really appreciate.

  You mentioned the robustness is the most important. I agree.
git may include its integrity in their own mechanism, so it
would be get managed I hope.

  First of all, I said 280MB for emacs-current for daily
cache, it was WITHOUT --depth 1. With --depth 1, it is about
126MB.

 The second thing is that I am leaning to go with proposed
policy, meaning that keep uncompressed tar archive of .git
directory of daily bases. It is just like cvs-packge.mk.  If
the disk space problem arises, just remove manually old
generations.  (I have checked emacs-current with
cvs-package.mk and it occupies about 30MB per day.)

  We may have GIT_KEEP_GENERATIONS flag which if set, removes
the daily archive generations exceeding that number.

  I also notice that even this flags is set, archive may get
fat by accumulating history on local copy of .git. I don't
exactly not tell the impact of this for the time being.

Anyway, I think adding cache capability to git-package.mk
won't hurt any existing functions.

Thank you,
