Confessing my (complete, total, frightening) ignorance about git: Is it
even possible to take a large pack file and split it into smaller packs?
I'm thinking of it as an option for git-repack-- that the user can set the
maximum size of any individual pack, and after that limit is reached, a
new pack file is started. (ie. --max-size 2GB) and will end up with two
packs, each 2GB in size.
That being said -- I've been able to work around it (although I haven't
tried your suggestion yet); it's not a 'critical' problem. I'm now just
curious if my fantasy (above) makes sense.
