saying that git is the new ftp is to my mind not correct. I read that git doesnt handle big files very well the coder from the backup tool "bup" has written. That was why he invented bup.

Correct me if I am wrong, I would really love to replace ftp with git.

You're right. git may require lots of RAM for big changesets (involving big files), and definitely more RAM than SFTP (oh, please never use FTP).

But the post is about deployments and not about transferring files.
