Cloning is a really small download, under 20 MB currently. I installed cgit (linked from the git.gnus.org page) so you can download a zip or tgz snapshot of a particular branch or revision. You don't need to clone every time to get an update. To update, you do a "git pull" usually but there's also "git merge" and "git reset" depending on what you need. As with Bazaar and other DVCSs, using Git requires un-learning some CVS habits and learning some new ones... Ted
