The pack is essentially sent unmodified over the\nwire. (IIRC, packs were originally conceived as a way of reducing\ntransfer bandwidth, and were later adopted for on-disk storage as\nwell.

But this should be less urgent.\n\n-- \nJakub Narebski\nPoland\nShadeHawk on #git\n"},{"id":"70454","messageId":"200803010100.m2110GSw008865@localhost.localdomain","threadId":"12379","inReplyTo":"47C7E4AD.6030509@glidos.net","subject":"Re: When to repack?","fromName":"Xavier Maillard","fromEmail":"xma@gnu.org","sentAt":"2008-03-01T01:00:16Z","receivedAt":"2008-03-01T01:00:16Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"xma@gnu.org","avatar":null},"body":"\n   There's advantage to repacking a repository after using git-fast-import.\n   If that repacked repository is then git-pushed to another, is there\n   any point in repacking the other afterwards?
