git-bigfiles - Git for big files

git-bigfiles is our fork of Git. It has two goals:

• make life bearable for people using Git on projects hosting very large files (hundreds of megabytes)
• merge back as many changes as possible into upstream Git

Features

git-bigfiles already features the following fixes:

• git-p4: fix abysmal performance when importing medium-sized files (opration now up to 8000 times faster)

Download

Clone the git-bigfiles repository:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/git/git-bigfiles.git

If you already have a working copy of upstream git, you may save a lot of bandwidth by doing:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/git/git-bigfiles.git --reference /path/to/git/

The main Git repository is constantly merged into git-bigfiles. See the ​git-bigfiles repository on ​repo.or.cz.
