Last night, the repo size was 153G after removing some commits and objects by way of git filter-branch. I'm using "du -sh" in the .git directory to determine the disk usage. Before: 136G git repack -dAl After: 153G Then, just to make sure of some things, I changed nothing and simply re-ran "git repack -dAl". After: 167G Config: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = true logallrefupdates = true compression = 0 loosecompression = 0 packedGitLimit = 1500M #packedGitWindowSize = 32m [pack] packsizelimit = 256m windowMemory = 128m deltaCacheSize = 1m [gc] threads = 1 packrefs = true [repack] usedeltabaseoffset = true Incorporating the system and global config (git config -l): pack.packsizelimit=2M pack.threads=1 gc.auto=0 gc.autopacklimit=0 core.repositoryformatversion=0 core.filemode=true core.bare=true core.logallrefupdates=true core.compression=0 core.loosecompression=0 core.packedgitlimit=1500M pack.packsizelimit=256m pack.windowmemory=128m pack.deltacachesize=1m gc.threads=1 gc.packrefs=true repack.usedeltabaseoffset=true -- Jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
