I've never packed it. IIRC, there was some advise in some GIT document or e-mail saying that you shouldn't pack if the export is over a dumb protocol. That's good for people pulling regularly but bad for cloning.

Anyway, thanks to Pasky, you can now pull/clone it over the git protocol directly - git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git. This repository is up to date. I have a plan to move the main StGIT repository to Pasky's server but I'm a bit busy with other things at the moment.
