Really? Every patch you accept adds 37 MB to your hard disk? > > Am I missing something here? Yes. Only changes files re-appear. The unchanged files keep the same SHA1 hash, therefore they don't re-appear in the repository. So, if Linus gets a patch which sanitizes drivers/char/selection.c, only these new objects appear in the repository: drivers/char/selection.c drivers/char drivers .
