How big are your firmware files? How often do they change, and how large

an acceptable delta, meaning you get versioning for very low space cost?
Changes don't happen too often, but the size of everything binary in the
tree easily goes to about 100MB. Three commits later it ends up at about
300MB...
Right, as loose objects. Did you try running "git-gc" to repack?
I did "git repack -f -a -d", but it didn't reduce the repository size.
Those binaries are already compressed so any change adds up their size
once again.
