Hi,

  just to test the packing improvements we had achieved over the last
year, I have repacked the historical kernel repository and achieved a
significant improvement:

  Since it's a nice place for people to check about how efficient we are
with compressing the repository, perhaps it would be a good idea to
repack the historical repository on kernel.org?
