Repository maintenance tasks:

 - create a new repository
 - create new branch (and new tag) -- I think you can already do this
 - remove an unneeded branch and tag
 - (perhaps) running update-server-info
 - running repack

If you have repack support somehow, always sending packs
(especially the thin kind) would make sense, but otherwise you
probably would want some arrangements to make sure many small
packs are periodically consolidated into larger smaller number
of packs, so that they would not fragment the vma of git
programs that run on the server side by mmap()ing them into
their address spaces.
