Network, in this case is cheaper. The thing is that If I commit frecuently, will have plenty of GBs of history, that nearly for sure I won't use. I just need to have other people's work to merge. But I want to think in Git style, I am pretty accustomed to that way of doing things. That is why I sent this mail here.

The idea is that if I modify 700MBs of video, with 20 commits I would get in 21GB. And making a pull would be... just even more horrible than anything. That is why I need to have also last checkouts filter. Just download branch's HEADs.
