What I used to do was to - have a "canonical" local bare repo for each major project, fetching and repacking nightly - a script that "injects" an "alternates" entry to matching user repos -- logic to look at a repo and decide which alternate to hook it to is left to the reader. - optional: automating repacks on users repos As users repack, their "local" packs will only have the objects that are not shared with the canonical repos. With Moodle repos, this was a 200MB savings per repo.
