Hi all, I'm having a question regarding the packs and the repacking of those during cloning.
I'm migrating a big repository which after initial commit of all files contains only one pack file of 120MB in size (about 800 extracted). On this big repo I created various subtree branches so I can clone some of the folders individually (without getting the whole big thing). The problem is, however, that all my subtree clones seem to get a copy of the big 120MB pack, only to then extract 2MB from it. After testing a little bit I figured that this only happens if I use ssh or the git protocol to clone the repo. When using file:// to specify the remote repository some repacking seems to happen automatically and I end up with a new pack file for my clone that only contains the stuff that is really needed for my branch (which obviously results in much smaller size). - Any idea how this could be achieved using ssh or git protocol (as obviously I'd prefer to use those over file:// )? - Is that "as designed" or could it be a bug in git?
