I should probably run some tests too (I don't remember if I tested some operations last time). http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/242277/focus=242435 >> git.git is not a great repo to test it because its size is modest but >> so are my laptop's cpu and memory, so here are the timings and pack >> sizes >> >> size time >> old aggr. 36MB 5m51 >> new aggr. 37MB 6m13 >> repack -adf 48MB 1m12 > > I am not clear on what these times mean.
