I want to copy the Git repository to box.com as a backup measure, and
my account on box.com limits files to 100 MB.

In this repository, only the smallest files are text files; the bulk
of the files are executable binaries.  So I've set
core.bigFileThreshold to 10k to stop Git from attempting
delta-compression of the binaries.  That makes the repository slightly
larger, but it dramatically speeds the repacking process.
