For a while I was running git with an 80-gig repository of media files.
I found it useful to network mount the central git repo (I used SMB),
and clone to the local machine using alternates (i.e., "git clone -s
/net/mounted/git /local/git").  It should work as a normal git repo,
except that all object accesses will transparently go over the network,
which obviously slows things down a bit (but no slower than CVS!).

You should be able to pack at your size of repo (I obviously couldn't,
but I was working with a few very large files, so the overhead wasn't
too bad).
