*youch* A 1.5 GiB pack file?
Your files apparently do not delta compress very well. I fear that you are going to bump up against address space limitations soon on 32 bit systems. Then you will bump up against the 4 GiB pack file size limit. Which means you will need to use several packs and avoid the '-a' flag when calling git-repack.
Nico was suggesting using the default window size (rather than --window=64) as larger windows requires more memory during repack. But you may also need the mmap window code I'm working on. I better hurry up and get that into Junio's testing branches. :-)
