some questions

[Thomas Pasch <thomas.pasch@jentro.com>]

Hello,

I try to migrate our old cvs repo to git.
However, I still have to following questions
that I found difficult to answer with
the documentation.

- Is there a way to convert a indexVersion 1
  repo to indexVersion 2? (And vice versa?)

- Is there a way to find out if a repository
  is indexVersion 1 or indexVersion 2 (from
  the pack/index files)?

- http for git seems to be read-only/fetch.
  Would it be (theoretically) possible to
  support write/push (with WebDAV or so)?

- I do not fully understand the implication
  of 'git repack -a' (or 'git repack -A -d').
  Is this bad for remote repos that are used
  with http? (as '-a' is 'Especially useful when
  packing a repository that is used for private
  development and there is no need to worry about
  people fetching via dumb protocols from it').

- What would be the implication to mount the
  git repo with nts (or another remote fs).
  Is it save to use such a mounted repo from
  more than one computer?

Kind regards,

Thomas
