Hi all,

Since I don't know that much about Git I have some questions, that might just make me look and feel stupid.

My .git directory in my share is huge ~ 60 GB. What is it that is soo big? Are there copies of my actual files in a Git version in there or what is it? Aren't there just hashed meta data about the files in .git?

I've tried to sync this perticular directory with my server, but the compression takes quite a long time and even if that finishes, the files wont be synced untill I have to unplugg it (slow internet) and next time I start SparkleShare, the compression restarts. Are the old compressed files saved somewhere?
