Yeah, that is exactly what I ended up doing.

I've been running the rezip script for quite a long time now, versioning a spreadsheet that I update by adding stuff to up to several times a week. Using this approach has shrunk the compressed .git directory by about 90 % (before I started using rezip, it was about 9 megabytes, with rezip and 30 % more commits, it is now 1 megabyte).
