> we have folks in Europe that can't even clone the repo due to it's size. What is it about Europe that makes it more difficult? That internet in Europe isn't as good? Actually, I have heard that some primary schools in Europe lack internet. My grandson's elementary school in rural California (population <10k) had internet as far back as 1998.

I've experienced interruptions mid-clone (with no apparent way to resume them) when trying to clone repos on unreliable connections, and perhaps a similar issue is happening with connections between continents.

Collaborative editing between a web app, two mobile anpps and a desktop app with 30 years of backwards compatibility and it pretty much just works. No wonder that took a lot of JavaScript!

In most EU countries we have multi-gigabit internet (for cheap too). Current offers are around ~5 GBIT speeds for 20 bucks a month.
Some EU is still suffering from Telekom copper barons.

If we interpret it that way, that also explains why the filepathwalk solution solves the problem.
But if it’s really based on the last 16 characters of just the file name, not the whole path, then it feels like this problem should be a lot more common. At least in monorepos.

Arguably, the fix for that is to run filter-branch, remove the offending binary, teach and get everyone setup to use git-lfs for binaries, force push, and help everyone get their workstation to a good place. Far from ideal, but better than having a…
I've been watching all the recent GitMerge talks put up by GitButler and following the monorepo / scaling developments - lots of great things being put out there by Microsoft, Github, and Gitlab.
I'd like to understand this last 16 char vs full path check issue better. How does this fit in with delta compression, pack indexes, multi-pack indexes etc ... ?
