Hello,

I'm trying to avoid doing delta compression on a number of large binary files. I got a suggestion to use $GIT_DIR/info/attributes and a line like this: *.bin -delta

This doesn't seem to show a big improvement (and honestly I can't find where in the git-pack-objects source the value of this attribute is used).

Could someone shed some light on this attribute and any other improvements I could make for efficiently serving up a repo over git-daemon with near-weekly revisions of 100MB+ files?

Thanks, Nasser
