Microsoft foists fake file system for fat Git repos • The Register
'So Microsoft set about adapting Git to work better with massive code repositories. '
'To lighten the burden of massive Git source code repositories, Microsoft has created a virtualized file system that allows developers to interact with large codebases without sending excessive amounts of data across the network. '
'Git (when not applied to people or animals) refers to a distributed version control system for managing software code. '
'GVFS helps not only with large repositories, but repositories that include decades of code history messages, like Windows. '
'The result is GVFS, which stands for Git Virtual File System. '
