I've got two computers. One has the repository up-to-date (164M after repack); one is behind (30M ish). I used git-fetch to try and update; and the sync took HOURS. I zipped the .git directory and transferred that and it took about 15 minutes to transfer. Am I doing something wrong? The git-fetch was done with a git+ssh:// URL. The zip transfer with scp (so ssh shouldn't be a factor). Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE
