Network, in this case is cheaper. The thing is that If I commit
frecuently, will have plenty of GBs of history, that nearly for sure I
won't use. I just need to have other people's work to merge. But I
want to think in Git style, I am pretty accustomed to that way of
doing things. That is why I sent this mail here.

The idea is that if I modify 700MBs of video, with 20 commits I would
get in 21GB. And making a pull would be... just even more horrible
than anything. That is why I need to have also last checkouts filter.
Just download branch's HEADs.

You're obviously aware of git-annex, is there any reason you can't
just use that?

That would give you what you want, you'd have a moving window of
current files, and then you'd delete old files as they become
un-needed.

If there is a lot of static content, you should try git-media[1]. Its
specifically aimed at what you are trying to achieve.
