If someone needs better on-disk ratio, (s)he can go with 1 KB filesystem or something like that, without all the added complexity of packing. If we want to optimize that further, I would try doing it at the underlying filesystem level. For example, loop-mounted one. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
