I think one thing git's objects database is not very well suited for are network transports. You want to have something smart doing the transports, comparing trees so that it can do some delta compression; that could probably reduce the amount of data needed to be sent significantly.
I'm hoping my 'chunking' patches will fix this. This ought to reduce the size of the object store by (in effect) doing delta compression; rsync
will then Do The Right Thing and only transfer the needed deltas.
Running some benchmarks right now to see how well it lives up to this promise...
