true innovation is reinventing cvs on top of git
git: gives you a protocol for downloading the minimal diff between your repo and the remote as one compressed stream and then syncing your working copy to a full tree snapshot
this thing: download files one a time what's the worst that can happen
do you know what a staggering regression it is to throw out all the optimisation of git-fetch in shrinking the volume of data you need to download and doing this "download files one at a time by re-evaluating a prompt each time" thing
Chris Petrilli@jcoglan the true innovation is in dumb ideas
