Repacking all of that to a single pack file gives, somewhat
surprisingly, a pack size of 62M (+ 1.3M index). In other words, the

The big problem, however, comes when Jeff (or anyone else) decides to
repack. Then, if you fetch both his repo and Linus', you might end up
with several really big pack files, that mostly overlap. That could
easily mean storing most objects many times, if you don't do some smart

files, and 1.4M packed. Total size: 70M for the

One very minor problem I have with Holmsand approach [*1*] is
that the original Barkalow puller allowed a really dumb http
server by not requiring directory index at all. For somebody
