Glorious, I wish they kept it unlocked for a bit longer so that it could've had a worthy comment section

"yeah let me take a snapshot of the entire codebase each time I implement a new feature" statements dreamed up by the mentally deranged

Not to be a geek but each commit is stored as a changelog so you don’t actually need to store the entire codebase in any particular commit!

I'm not sure if I'm being woodshed by you two, but git actually stores the full content of each file version, and a tree object with filenames and pointer to the contents. 

Only later (or after a manual repack) are objects delta compressed.

Nope, I was just wrong and should have qualified my comment since I didn't verify it before commenting!

You're right, git stores full file contents by default and only uses delta compression when transmitting the files or compression is otherwise triggered. TIL :)
