RE: Huge pack file from small unpacked objects

Hi,

I recently created a repo from SVN via git-svn.  The bare repo was about ~600MB.  I cloned it, and on the clone, I added 2 small files (.gitignore and .gitattributes) to a branch, merged them to master, and pushed that back to the origin.  The cloned repo remains at about 600MB, while my origin repo (the one from svn) is now about 2.4GB.  I found that it created a file in objects/pack which accounts for this huge size.

I've tried running 'git repack -a -d' but that didn't shrink the size of this pack file.

Any ideas why the pack file is so huge?  Anything I can do to shrink it?  My coworkers are understandably unhappy that the repo is so huge now (makes for very slow pulls)

thanks,
-Nick
