Please verify that you are using a version of git-cvsimport that contains code like this: if (($commitcount & 1023) == 0) { system("git repack -a -d"); } That code makes the script repack every 1024 commits. So, upon completion, there should be no more than 1023 commits worth of not-packed files under .git/objects/[0-9a-f]?/. All of the rest should be in .git/objects/pack/pack-* files. The only other explanation I can come up with is that some packages have consistently huge commits. For such packages, 1024 may be too large. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
