Well, actually the GCC repository does not pack better here than yours. It's even worse after having tested on 3 different machines just in case. In all cases I get about 1.4 GB for the pack with the default depth and window parameters.
The defaults changed significantly somewhere near version 1.5.1 I believe with the delta caching mechanism making it much less expensive to use a deeper delta depth.
I don't know what Harvey is up to, he claimed his tree was between 400 and 500 MB.
Sorry, my mistake, the repo I was looking at only contained a clone of trunk.
There are 50% more objects than in the Linux kernel, but with the same packing parameters the pack file is almost 10 times larger. It's true that many kernel patches are little more than one-liners, but even taking this into account, I'm surprised.
I'm starting to pull the rest of the branches now, but I am also a little surprised at the difference. Harvey
