Yes -- if we want to have an option to keep objects selectively left out of packs in loose format, you would need 'repack' which acts differently between the server-feeding-client case vs packing-repository case. Which is a bigger change that I did not want to show in the quick-and-clean patch, but I would agree we would want both.
OK -- I'll put this on the back-burner with the so-called "ent:relative" patch and I'll revisit this once your "delta" attribute shows up in next or master. At the moment I'm experimenting on a git repository with a 4.5GB checkout, and 18 months of history in 4K commits comprising 100GB (uncompressed) of blobs stored in 7 packfiles of 2GB or less. Hopefully I'll be able to say more about tweaking packing shortly. Thanks, -- Dana L.
