Actually it looks like it is combination of this and packSizeLimit set
to 30M. Git notices that it has too many packfiles, and tries to
repack them, but packlimit forces Git to split it into small
packfiles... and end up with more packfiles than limit anyway.
Perhaps git should notice that it has nonsensical combination of
options...
