By packing everything in a single pack, you are optimizing for the initial cloners but punishing incremental updaters. Since your tree is derived from Linus tree, anybody who is interested in your tree is very likely nterested in Linus tree and chances are that she has a recent copy of it locally. In such a case, I would not be surprised if: $ git clone -l -s -n /local-linux-2.6.git/ jdl-linux.git $ cd jdl-linux.git $ git fetch http://jdl.com/jdl-linux.git master:refs/heads/jdl goes a lot faster if you have loose objects around in the repository. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
