You don't want to put large GZ tarballs in git .. we only put text file in git. All binary files are put in a look-aside cache. So, when you do git clone you get all the text sources .. when you do get_sources.sh (or into_srpm.sh) you get all the binary sources (tarballs, etc.). You need both to be able to build the SRPM. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
