Hi folks,

as already said some time ago, I'm using git to back up maildirs on a machine w/ relatively low ram. The biggest problem for now is the initial push (maybe later larger subsequent pushes could be also affected too): it takes quite a long time to get everything packed, and if the connection breaks (the box is sitting behind a dynamic-IP DSL link), everything has to be restarted :(

So my idea is to incrementally transfer objects in smaller packs, disable gc on remote side and update refs when some commit is complete.

Is there any way to do this ?

thx
