> large object promisors will work like this:
- You push a large file to your Git host.
- In the background, your Git host offloads that large file to a large object promisor.
- When you clone, the Git host tells your Git client about the promisor.
- Your client will clone from the Git host, and automagically nab large files from the promisor remote.
This doesn’t seem to solve the issue of the long download time / big repo size. Or is the author describing the use of promisors remotes in conjunction with partial cloning? Unless I missed something it is not stated explicitly.
Nicely put
