Hi,
I noticed this earlier and wonder if it's a bug or not:
When downloading the git-2.6.3 substitute from hydra it is a hefty
108M download, but installed in the store it's just 23M.
Compression failure? :)
Regards,
Flo

I figured a simple fix is to have ‘make install’ use symlinks instead of
hard links. Done in 1a59b6d.
