Well if you want the vanilla install without the ability to update via version control, of course that's going to be smaller. That's no different now from how it was under SVN.
is your 99M product, which I hope you could document on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git Apparently it involves a --bare option.
No. Most people don't want --bare anyway...they're likely to get confused.
And how might one update it occasionally without accruing things I will not need. I.e., I just want to do an rsync.
`git pull`
I guess I will just have to accept some bloat with git over this. I guess there is no way to just get the same content without using git in some way that it is not intended.
The amount of "bloat" we're talking about here is between 20 and 30M, at most. I see zero problem here.
Would you rather have the initial conversions I did, that are around 6.5G of bloat? ;-)
