Hey Git Experts,

I need your advice. I have lot of png/jpg images in my codebase (which is currently under git) which causes the repo size to be very heavy. We have migrated these images to a storage server using git exile technique. This has been working fine so far (with some glitches) on unix platform. However to make it work on windows has been a big pain. I got it work to some extent that I can pull stuff from storage and replace the references here but its not complete. Also it made the other commands like git status to be very slow. Does anybody have done this before? If so can you please share your experience on it?

I tried using Cygwin but my Cygwin installation on windows 7 is not going fine. Having failure in running the post install rebase script. I am unable to checkout a package in Cygwin and I suspect it is because of the post install stuff failure.

Any help/hints will be greatly appreciated.

-- Thanks & Regards Sudhir Kumar
