[vtk-developers] Fast cloning of VTKExamples

[Bill Lorensen]

Folks,

I've been working on reducing the time and storage for cloning the VTKExamples.

I will experiment with a way to use the clone depth for remote modules.

Here are some results comparing time to clone and amount of storage used.

time git clone git at github.com:lorensen/VTKExamples.git XXX
real     4m28.974s
user     5m18.285s
sys      0m29.902s

(du -f -s XXX)
1113420  XXX

time git clone --depth=1 git at github.com:lorensen/VTKExamples.git XXX
real 0m50.060s
user 0m7.288s
sys  0m7.051s

(cd XXX; du -f -s .)
654736   XXX
