In the mean time you might have to use only one thread and lots of
memory to repack the gcc repo, or find the perfect memory allocator to
be used with Git. After all, packing the whole gcc history to around
230MB is quite a stunt but it requires sufficient resources to
achieve it. Fortunately, like Linus said, such a wholesale repack is not
something that most users have to do anyway.
Is there an alternative to "git repack -a -d" that repacks everything
but the first pack?
That would be a pretty good idea for big repositories. If I were to
implement it, I would actually add a .git/config option like
pack.permanent so that more than one pack could be made permanent; then
to repack really really everything you'd need "git repack -a -a -d".
