Hi, I ran git repack on a single larger repository abc.git where the pack file size 34 GB. Generally it used to take 20-25 minutes in my server to complete the repacking. During repacking I noticed, disk usage was more, So I thought of splitting the pack file into 4 GB chunks. I used the following command to do repacking. git repack -A -b -d -q --depth=50 --window=10 abc.git
After adding --max-pack-size=4g to the above command again I ran to split pack files.. git repack -A -b -d -q --depth=50 --window=10 --max-pack-size=4g abc.git When I finished running, I found 12 pack files with each 4 GB and the size is 48 GB. Now my disk usage has increased by 14 GB. Again, I ran to check the performance, but the size (48 GB) and time to repacking takes another 35 minutes more. Why this issue? If we split a larger pack file, repacking takes more time with more disk usage for storing pack files. Any thoughts on this why this happens?
