Subject: git-repack made my pack 317x larger...

Message-ID: <20070615085057.5706.qmail@science.horizon.com> (raw)
I was grabbing a copy of the hwmon-2.6 git tree to play with:

Then I noticed that it's a Linux kernel... oops!
Sorry for wasting the network bandwidth, but I can save myself
the disk space.

Much better! But since that's only a few objects, let's repack them even tighter...

Uh... what happened? It's not a full kernel clone, but it's a lot more
objects than I expected. Where did all the extra objects come from?
