That's not entirely correct. The packfile will only be rewritten if
a) enough other stuff has accumulated
b) you force a repack.
You are fighting against git's GC mechanism a bit here, but you can
still make it work. On your source of truth host, do the following:
1. git gc --aggressive
2. look at .git/objects/pack, there should be a single big pack
3. touch .git/objects/pack/pack-<whateverhash>.keep (or was it
.pack.keep?)
4. rsync --del to all other hosts
Now future git gc runs will not delete that big pack, you'll only get
churn in the new, much smaller, packs.
I missed seeing this until now, sorry, but thankyou! This is excellent,
and looks like a much better solution - or at least one which lets me
know 100% that I have percisely the same files on each machine. I will
gve this a try next time I need to do an update.
thanks,
