While probably not changing that much, they are huge (6x~10MB for Nvidia and 
one 52MB pack for ATI). The question is how gracefully git will handle such 
amounts. On the other hand I saw that it seems to do some sort of binary diff even.
It certainly helps our sanity to have a git repo, so our packages are found and 
can be handled the same. And hopefully my connection up is better now as I 
remember an upload tried while still in Canada suffered from the huge amount of 
data and had to be ass-kicked to the DC(s) first.
Andy, what would you think from the git side and Steve, you think this would 
help your workflow?
