From 27e06e753bad4a4e3f32e263fc7efb2542dfe616 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Scott Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 10:18:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add a note about disk space requirements for git install After running into a bizarre situation trying to install Koha for the first time on a VM that I had provisioned with what seemed like a generous 4GB of disk space, and running out of disk space due to the unusually large size of the Koha git repository, I thought it might help to provide an upfront note about the hardware requirements.
