Not all inside of git repository data is source code used for
versioning control, but the mailing lists are pushed too into git repo!

Is there any idea of

How small is a git packed mailing list vs zipped mailing list?

It thanks to the delta scheme, minimum spanning tree and zlib of the git packer.

1. For git, it's better to commit splitted monthly-files
     (the atomic messages have some redundancy in the replies and forwards).

2. For zip, it's better to zip non-splitted monthly-files.

Still nowhere but almost humans are still insensible in it.

It's as a knife that is used to cut meat but too is used to cut rope, to cut
cables of light, to cut tubes, to attack or to unscrew screws as the actor
McGiver does it.

If the diff format (or mails's delta) is extended and improved to simplify
'> ' or '| ' columns then the packed can gain much its reduction of size!.
