Oh, good point. Thanks for reminding me of reality. I'm just so used to not looking at repository size unless the repository has been fully repacked first. So I somehow just read this thread has Anton having 8.5 GiB worth of *packed* data (where filesystem wastage in the tail block is minimal) and not 8.5 GiB of loose objects. Its very likely this did fit in just under 4 GiB of packed data, but as you said, without O_LARGEFILE we can't work with it. > So this really could be a situation where just small tweaks makes it work > out for now. We'll need the full 64-bit index eventually for sure, but.. Yes. ;-) -- Shawn.
