Subject: Fwd: what is a snapshot?
Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2016 17:15:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHWPVgMWeHoD5vTiFJ1gsm2hS74LK7j4npVVbOZeR43cX3qWXw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAHWPVgNrTEw9FmW6K7QucgA74QWsTKfxZGt+mGd099k+O7O+rw@mail.gmail.com>

I read in every comparison of git vs other version control systems,
that git does not record differences but takes "snapshots"
I was wondering what a "snapshot" is ? Does git store at every commit
the entire files which have been modified even if only a few bytes
were changed out of a large file?

thank you
