For this we need a cgi script that will generate an appropriate
pack.
I agree that nothing would beat a pack customized for each
puller from the bandwidth point of view. I like the general
idea of git-daemon Linus did and the cgi script you suggest, but
I wonder what the CPU/disk load implications for the server.
I think you need to nail down the various scenerios that people will be
useing here.
a very common one will be prople who want to setup a cron job to update
their local tree nightly, in this case having a pre-generated pack file
with each day's updates will save a significant amount of processing
power.
would it make sense to have it do something along the lines of sending the
day;s pack file plus a small number of individual object (even if the pack
file will partially duplicate object the puller already has)
