And today we learn why I think version control systems that think "repacking" is something the user should be doing are worthless beasts :) It generally just means you didn't think through your storage subsystem enough, but in git's case it's probably that the project it was originally developed for just doesn't take a lot of disk space.
It has its advantages too, but I'm by no means experienced enough to give you the whole picture. I was just letting you know how much space git-svn uses on my machine to keep track of gcc development. And if every week (or two) I've generated/fetched enough new material that it matters, I'm only one call to git-gc away from packing/pruning/etc. Git 1.5 has had a lot of usability improvements in this area. Purely FYI, not evangelizing. Cheers, Harvey
