In this episode I’m talking to Erik van Zeist. He’s a developer
from Atlassian BitBucket, and at Git Merge this year, he shared
some interesting experiments they have been making using clone
bundles, which is a technique from Mercurial that will dramatically
improve performance of repository cloning. Now they have also
started experimenting with doing clone bundles with Git.

Mercurial bundle clone extension

Mail to the Git mailing list on the subject

Outline:
00:01:23 Tell us about clone
bundles
00:03:29 Is this a server-side or a client-side
extension?
00:04:28 Are you already using it on Bitbucket?
00:04:49 What sort of resources does clone bundles
save?
00:06:00 How does it work with the bundle on a CDN and
subsequent changes?
00:07:13 How does Mercurial content negotiation differ from
Git?
00:08:29 What else do we need to make this work?
00:10:22 How does it work on the client exactly?
00:11:01 How are you going to integrate this with main
Git?
00:12:12 Could this be something that the Git client tools
should provide?
00:13:55 What did the other Git contributors think about the
idea?
00:15:32 Is a clone that was made using clone bundles
different from a normal clone?
00:16:46 Is this for pulling or only for initial
clone?
00:18:10 Anything else you want to share?
00:19:51 Outro
