Hi Peff,
I would like to register to the contributor summit :-)
---
As I am writing you, I thought I could ask you a question:
"git verify-pack" tells me the "size-in-packfile" which is
kind of the "real" size of a file in a Git repo. Are you
aware of a way to get this number via the GitHub API?
We have written a GitHub bot (soon to be open sourced!) that
warns about large files. We query the file size via Repo Content
API [1]. Largish text files usually compress well and therefore
our bot generates false positive warnings.
I assume it is not possible to query "size-in-packfile" via GitHub
API as this is kind of an internal and not necessarily stable
number. But I thought maybe you happen to know some way!
Thanks,
Lars

PS: In my last email I asked you about AsciiDoc rendering via *.adoc
extension on GitHub. Your argument that Git has custom AsciiDoc
configs and attributes convinced me to not propose that idea on
the list.
