Checking in binaries like this is pretty gross - you really need lib/clojure.jar in there?\r\n\r\nI'm not really sure what the solution is, though - at least you could stop including binaries inside of /downloads/examples.zip in future versions so the repo stops bloating. I'd like to rewrite history so that this huge file doesn't exist in any versions, but that's a somewhat drastic action that would have unpleasant effects on downstream forks and I'd understand if you don't want to do it. If you do, though, let me know - I can help with the `git filter-branch`.","assignee":null,"id":2239147,"number":66,"pull_request":{"patch_url":null,"html_url":null,"diff_url":null},"labels":[{"name":"wishlist","color":"DDDDDD","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/marick/Midje/labels/wishlist"}],"title":"/downloads is a huge binary checkin","html_url":"https://github.com/marick/Midje/issues/66","closed_at":null,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/marick/Midje/issues/66","milestone":null},"action":"created","comment":{"created_at":"2011-12-06T22:33:55Z","updated_at":"2011-12-06T22:33:55Z","user":{"gravatar_id":"a523012f661f603806ab1c22d855216f","id":71909,"url":"https://api.github.com/users/marick","login":"marick","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a523012f661f603806ab1c22d855216f?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png"},"body":"Having the jar files in the examples was inspired by my early bad experience just trying to get started with Clojure. So I wanted a one-step install for everything-you-need-to-explore-Midje. (There are TDD aficionados who were mainly interested in Midje, strange to say.) \r\n\r\nThat, in any case, isn't most of the bloat. The bloat is because I used to have the videos in this repo. I'd be happy for you to tell me how to strip them from history. ","id":3040036,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/marick/Midje/issues/comments/3040036"}}
