I thank you for the infos and i'll try that repack and unpack thing. I need to keep the pack file small, because if i have, like i do, 50 Projects on my server and every small wordpress project has 2-3 Gigabyte disc space, my server runs out of space soon.
In the future i have to .gitignore my concept and gallery folders, but for the present projects, i need a way to "shrink the pack". Am Mittwoch, 16.
