Hi:

I don't know how to reduce the size of the repository, but it
certainly isn't all text. The Musicians' Guide has audio files, and
uses between 50 and 100 MiB every time it's published as HTML,
HTML-single, or EPUB.

When I look at the web.git repository with Filelight, the Musicians'
Guide takes up a disproportional amount of space in both languages
it's published in (English and Japanese). Worse still, it's all
unnecessary because the files don't change between releases, and
certainly not between different formats for the same release!

Any ideas what to do about this? Can we use soft-links in git? Should
we find another way to host the files?


Christopher.
