> From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> > why are you setting the packsize limit to 99m in the first place? I want to copy the Git repository to box.com as a backup measure, and my account on box.com limits files to 100 MB. > There are more delta opportunities In this repository, only the smallest files are text files; the bulk of the files are executable binaries. So I've set core.bigFileThreshold to 10k to stop Git from attempting delta-compression of the binaries. That makes the repository slightly larger, but it dramatically speeds the repacking process.
