--- Comment #5 from Daniel Engberg <diizzy@FreeBSD.org> ---
Actually I'm looking towards reducing writes because they're "expensive" in
terms of being not able to cache, wear (if you're using flash storage backend
instead of tmpfs) and latency (primarily spinning rust). Reading is much
cheaper and even if it's "large" (much less so than pulling a snapshot of the
complete repo) we do have facilities to cache data using irregardless of fs and
storage backend.

If someone wants to sort out all quirks by pulling individual files great but I
honestly think it's more job than its worth.
