I was doing a more recent conversion of the Gentoo repo, and ran into some odd behavior in the packfile size. For anybody else following the repo, you can now get it on the new hardware at: http://git-exp.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=exp/gentoo-x86.git;a=summary I did the conversion with cvs2svn, packed, added the remote and pushed, only to find that the pack on the remote side suddenly seemed to be ~60MiB larger. $ time git repack -adf --window=250 --depth=250 real 19m59.339s user 96m48.011s sys 0m36.914s $ ls -la /tmp/convert/gentoo-x86-cvs2git/.git/objects/pack total 903804 drwxr-xr-x 2 robbat2 users 119 Apr 14 08:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 robbat2 users 28 Apr 14 08:05 .. -r--r--r-- 1 robbat2 users 139155472 Apr 14 08:05 pack-f805bb448f864becfeac9c7f8a8ac2ef90c26787.idx -r--r--r-- 1 robbat2 users 786336481 Apr 14 08:05 pack-f805bb448f864becfeac9c7f8a8ac2ef90c26787.pack $ git remote add origin git+ssh://git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/exp/gentoo-x86.git $ git push origin master:master Initialized empty Git repository in /var/gitroot/exp/gentoo-x86.git/ Counting objects: 4969800, done.

(If you're looking for the 849MB one right now, I'll have to get it back for you, I wanted to save that extra space so just did an rsync of the other pack over the too-large one for now). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
