I'm not doing any\ndevelopment so it should be a clean update everytime. However once in a\nwhile I get a \"no common commit\" warning and git starts to download the\nentire repo again. (It happened again today - therefore this mail)\n\nAs Im not changing anything I would not expect this to happen, but I may\nbe wrong. Can anyone explain?\n\nIm using Ubuntu 8.04 using the following version of git and Linux:\n- git version 1.5.4.3\n- Linux neo 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:35:01 UTC 2008 i686\nGNU/Linux\n\nFinally I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you\ndevelopers for a GREAT tool. Im currently working as a Software Release\nmanager and have been working with many of the commercial competitors\nand what surprises me about git is that it seems to solve all of the\n*BIG* problems you have with SCM in a big corporate environment.\nUnfortunately we are NOT using git for the major part of my work, so Im\ncurrently only really enjoing git in my spare time :-)\n\nRegards\n\nLars Jarnbo Pedersen\n"},{"id":"79840","messageId":"20080614092923.GB22538@sigill.intra.peff.net","threadId":"13947","inReplyTo":"1213435065.9800.13.camel@neo","subject":"Re: No common commits question","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2008-06-14T09:29:23Z","receivedAt":"2008-06-14T09:29:23Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 11:17:45AM +0200, Lars Jarnbo Pedersen wrote:\n\n> I have been tracking the Linux kernel with for at least a year now doing\n> frequent pulls (once every other day or so).
