*youch* A 1.5 GiB pack file?
Your files apparently do not delta compress very well. I fear that
you are going to bump up against address space limitations soon
on 32 bit systems. Then you will bump up against the 4 GiB pack
file size limit. Which means you will need to use several packs
and avoid the '-a' flag when calling git-repack.
Nico was suggesting using the default window size (rather than
--window=64) as larger windows requires more memory during repack.
But you may also need the mmap window code I'm working on. I better
hurry up and get that into Junio's testing branches. :-)
