Of course the problem here is that as soon as you import a single (possibly volatile) 2GB file, your pack becomes "huge." So these heuristics stop working very well and start to need some revision. Thanks for the clarification on packing and repacking. I might be able to use this method to come up with a better repacking/pruning algorithm in bup, and from there to perhaps forward it on to git.
