GNOMEs beat Microsoft: Git Virtual File System to get a new name
Microsoft is going to rename the Git Virtual File System to eliminate its clash with GNOMErs.
The purpose of the Git Virtual File System was laudable: Redmond's developers were sick of taking the afternoon off after typing “git clone” (even “git checkout” could take hours), so they gave GitHub users a workaround.
At the time, Microsoft's Saeed Noursalehi explained that GVFS “virtualises the file system beneath your repo and makes it appear as though all the files in your repo are present, but in reality only downloads a file the first time it is opened.”
At last, developers could handle terabyte-size repos without taking up knitting.
