I was really aware of `git repack` and that set of parameters. + +I didn't mention, but sadly I'd run `git gc` on the repos just before collecting the above numbers. + +I tried to repack two repositories -- `doc.annex` and `config.annex` -- using the values you suggested. However, it did not have any measurable effect (less than 100mb in both cases). + +The number of unused files seem to be (much) less than 500 files in the repos. + +BTW: All of the extra size is in the `.git/objects/` folder. `.git/annex/` is quite small (always much less than 1GB). Would that indicate that large files are checked in with git sans annex somehow? +"""]] -- cgit v1.2.3
