Is it practical to host a read-mostly git repo on a WAN-based
distributed file system?

The idea is that most developers would use the DFS-based repo to track
the tip of the development stream, but only the integrator would
publish updates to the DFS-based repo.

As such, the need to repack the DFS-based repo will be somewhat, but
not completely, reduced.

Is this going to be practical, or are whole of repo operations
eventually going to kill me because of latency and bandwidth issues
associated with use of the DFS?

Are there things I can do with the git configuration (such as limiting
repacking behaviour) that will help?
