cocos2d-x repo fixes

[Ricardo Quesada]

Hi,

I added this ticket:
http://www.cocos2d-x.org/issues/4674

 (includes feedback from the Microsoft guys, ideas from the cocos2d-iphone repo, plus other ideas)

Two things I'm trying to fix:

 - improve the cloning speed of cocos2d-x

 - make it easier to compile the external dependencies to new platforms (eg: ARM64, or WP8)

James, since you were maintaining the external dependencies, could you move those dependencies to the cocos2d-x-dependencies repo ? Thanks!

Thoughts?

Thanks.

So do we need to clean all history commits by force pushing a commit without binaries?

I think only in this way, the repo size could be reduced.

Or are there some better methods to achieve that?

Could git rm also cleans binaries in history ?

I don’t think force push should work. we should git rm all the binaries first, and then commit?

I don’t think so, otherwise how do you revert back the history.

[James Chen]

Agree. So git rm will only affect current status(commit), it could not resolve the problem of big repo.

I think tests includes too much resources. We should reuse resources.

Well, I guess its worth the one time pain of having to rebase all my
branches. The repo certainly was *way* to big before.
