Yes, pack-objects respects pack.packsizelimit when creating local packs, but incoming packs from the network (which are processed by index-pack) are not split. This should be fixed in git. Unfortunately, I don't know that it is as trivial as just splitting the incoming stream; we would also have to make sure that there were no cross-pack deltas in the result. -Peff -- 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
