Often I need to sync the entire config, and am frequently rsyncing
(although not in this case) rsyncing repos made with git-svn. I've had
trouble using git clone on these repos, as I really want the duplicate
repo to use the svn upstream and not the git repo it was cloned from.

Indeedly do I did.
The (now expected) results:
turnip:/mnt/backups.git # du -sh ; echo ; git count-objects -v ; echo
; git repack -ad ; echo ; git count-objects -v ; echo ; du -sh
204G .
count: 0
size: 0
in-pack: 2939744
packs: 694
size-pack: 213284091
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
Counting objects: 266309, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (205176/205176), done.
Writing objects: 100% (266309/266309), done.
Total 266309 (delta 47781), reused 230413 (delta 47770)
count: 0
size: 0
in-pack: 266309
packs: 11
size-pack: 21590451
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
21G .
turnip:/mnt/backups.git #
and of course now everything is nice and (reasonably) fast.
Thanks for the help, and pointing out that the problem was .. me.
