That is only partly true: - packs will be generated when objects are transferred over the network (this may be partial packs) - packs can be force generated by using ‘git gc’ - packs will be periodically created / updated to reduce size on disk
Are you free, when fetching a git repository, to decide whether to pack or not or is the source repository in charge of that?
Past a certain point, you can expect all/most of your small files (and small deltas) to be packed, no?
But: the main storage form (and the fastest for access) are loose objects (i.e. single files)
But you have to support both storage form to be able to read a git repository.
Just for completeness :)
You known certainly more about that than I do :) Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95
