<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>This is perhaps a very contentious topic, so I want to discuss with extreme caution :-) </div><div><br></div><div>The size of the git repository for xsce is > 70MB</div><div>The actual size of the files is < 3MB</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, I don't want to hurt anyone's sensibilities AT ALL here, but I feel 70MB is quite a huge size for a repo containing code worth only 3 MB. I also feel it's a hindrance to keep code development nimble, making it unnecessarily difficult for users to download large repos. (Remember, if you're cloning a git repo, and you lose connectivity, you have to start over). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Are there any thoughts we could improve the situation? Should it be improved?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Anish</div><div><br></div></div>
