By the way, it would be nice to have talked about fetch / clone support for sending (and creating) _multiple_ pack files. Beside the situation where we must use more than one packfile because of size limits, it would also help clone as it could send existing packs and pack only loose objects (trading perhaps some bandwidth with CPU load on the server; think kernel.org). -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
