Don't know about running `git gc`, but I can tell you that the 'resolving deltas' step on the client side is very slow; anecdotally, it appears to take longer than the network transfer. We also would like to relieve the server of the burden of creating large pack files many times a day (the repo is frequently cloned). I'll check to see whether `git gc` can help us.

Thanks,
Stefan
