[12:45:00] <boru> JFC, I hate web technologies. What bloody idiot's idea was it to implement git LFS over HTTP? What a complete bellend.
[12:45:22] * boru finishes ranting.
[13:11:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> Somebody who doesn't know other protocols exist, probably.
[13:26:21] <FatPhil> It's a pretty big hammer. It is a channel over which a payload can be delivered. Which is probably what was needed. Not sure what 'LFS' is though, so might be wrong.
[13:27:48] <FatPhil> I've started to use *git* as my payload delivery mechanism. Why copy updated files from my server, when I can simply pull the latest version instead? Sure, it's wasteful in space, but it's a free backup of the whole history!
[13:29:06] <FatPhil> No more having to remember what switches I need to give to scp (is port number -p or -P?!?!), or should I be using rsync instead? (hmmm, was it -avz?). Fuck that. git pull.
[13:31:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm just disappointed there's no "bent" command for git
[13:33:13] <FatPhil> Ahhhh, finally paid off one of the loans to our business today. Feels good to only have two big loans to our business outstanding :-|
[13:34:20] <FatPhil> set git up to be a shell function that detects 'bent' for your own purposes, and passes everything else through to the real git.
[13:39:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...you could recompile git so that "bent" is an alias for "blame".
[13:40:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> Then if you notice that, say, chromas has made an error in a commit, you can say 'git bent chromas'.

[14:09:40] <boru> LFS is a means to track large binary files in the repo, without storing them in the repo, which speeds up things considerably e.g. fetch etc.

[14:17:39] <Bytram> So, Linux From Scratch?
[14:17:47] <Bytram> ahh, makes more sense!
[14:18:05] <AndyTheAbsurd> It could also stand for Lingering Fart Smell.

[14:18:39] <Bytram> This, too, shall pass.
[14:18:40] <Bytram> =)
[14:18:51] <boru> Really big files; I'd probably just compress large sparse files.
