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,
