It should complete sometimes, probably after the same amount of time 
needed by your previous clone attempt.  But after that any clone 
operation should be quick.  This is clearly unacceptable but at least 
with the pack data reuse you should suffer only once for the initial 
repack.

No.  They actually make things worse performance wise, much worse in 
some special cases.

Is it possible for me to have access to 2 consecutive versions of your 
big binary file?
