[Sugar-devel] Git Backend Architecture | GSoC'15

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Gonzalo

Another concern. If datastore is made git-enabled, over time the size of 
the datastore should increase since it is holding the
current version and the git backups. In my experience this can increase 
the size by 50 to 100%. This could be a serious problem
for XOs with limited space (e.g. XO-1 at 1GB).
