I don't think you need to generate anything. Or you are saying that the problem is the number of files I have, not the total size of the files? In any event there should be a plenty of files in /usr > That said, it might also be a good idea (regardless of anything else) to > split things up, if only because it's quite possible that not everybody is > interested in having *everything*.

I was pleased that git did not lock me out of committing a few deletions for *.pdf, *.doc and makefiles after repack started. repack -a -d just finished and I started clone again. It's already deltifying at 6%. Thank you. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
