There's still the question if your repository has too many objects
(for example, a branch that you deleted without garbage-collecting
it). Then, sending the whole pack sends data that one may have
considered as "secret".
To me, this is a non-issue (if the content of these objects are
secret, then why are they here at all on a public server?), but I
think there were discussions here about it (can't find the right
keywords to dig the archives though), and other people may think
differently.
Jeff King's answer in <20090405195714.GA4716@coredump.intra.peff.net>
tackles this problem too.
