Well, I would argue that if the goal is ongoing archival and easy=20 replication, then storing objects in a repository like git makes a lot=20 more sense than keeping them on a central server that may or may not be=20 there a few years down the line. Having large file support native in git=20 is a laudable goal and I quite often wish that it existed. -K --gjwdrmromawyoshr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQR2vl2yUnHhSB5njDW2xBzjVmSZbAUCX7AFVAAKCRC2xBzjVmSZ bFjCAP9oN743MuAmeVM+LD3MaSEL9GrVis5NR6g1BlwgcvO9vQD8CEp8Q6nVyy3g 1vbeKq7vyVtU5G4I44BQkHDPR+k4uQU= =h8LJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gjwdrmromawyoshr--
