> Well, that image is not actually supposed to change much, really. I have it as a helpful way of starting with a clean image with a few helpful packages and preferences. But I haven't though of the size, and I guess it will make things *really* slow... maybe I should just upload it somewhere else.

Well main issue is that, every time we change a single line in the
image, the repo grows of 30 MB... (that's not a Git specific issue...
every system would have such troubles with binary blobs. Git makes it
a bit worse, though, because it does (by design) not allow to treat
binary blobs as specific objects whose verions are not tracked).

I'll investigate the option to download a fresh image from the
official repo (via a Python script, for instance, to ensure it's cross
platform) and apply the changes via a script (much like the Level
Playing Script :
http://installer.pbworks.com/w/page/19997714/LevelPlayingField )

Cheers,
