-1 from me to "Large files in repo", because it involves downloading
*all* of them on cloning a repo (unless eg --depth=1 is given, which
provides no history)
Just source code and essential extras in a repo please :)
Why choose either over GitHub's support for
release binaries?
I never knew GitHub supported this - after a quick google:
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/
Thanks, learn something new every day.
Harry, that's not an issue, it could be in a separate repo just for
releases, to not disturb the source repo. downloading binaries from a
dropbox account is somehow less confident. it could disappear anytime
while with github it's possible to clone and have a history etc.
