Hi,

Earlier, I avoided to repack too often, since "repack -a -d" was too expensive, and small incremental packs were inefficient.

Now, with the reusing delta patch, "repack -a -d" is marginally less efficient than incremental packs. No longer worry about when to repack: Just do it! No need for incremental packs!

Hero!

Ciao, Dscho
