Dear all,

Great to know that the git transition is moving forward. I tested
cloning (https) several packages and I noticed a significant
difference in the repository size between svn and git. Two examples
showing the output (svn/git) of du -k:

Biobase: 4968 / 8720
limma: 6284 / 20296

Looking briefly at the .git folder inside the repositories it seems
the .pack file inside .git/objects/pack takes most of the overweight.
I wonder if this is expected?

Thank you.

Diego

PS: commands used to obtain the repositories:

git clone https://git.bioconductor.org/packages/limma
svn co https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/limma
--username readonly
