Thank you for explaining the reasoning, and reworking the patch. This does make more sense, and I can see the logic for leaving around the packs. Coming from the perspective of the end user, I would probably want to repack quite a bit more often to take advantage of the size and speed advantages, while large public repositories will probably want to repack at much longer periods. Thanks for seeing both perspectives. I like your updated patch.
