Hi,
I am using git with Dropbox (see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1960799/using-gitdropbox-together-effectively).
Basically I created a bare repository at dropbox and everyone uses
that for central repository.
As the repository size is getting bigger, sometime during the git gc,
it will create a huge .pack file (300 mb) which need to be uploaded
and downloaded by everyone.
I tried to limit the size of the pack to 10m (pack.packSizeLimit =
10m), but when doing gc, what happens now is that most of the pack
files will get re-arranged and modified. This will cause the same
upload/download issue that I want to solve.
Is there any way for git gc to reduce the number of file changed?
Thank you
Chandra
