I disagree. Larger projects have multiple HEADs (stable, oldstable, development, ...). I don't like putting those in different repositories, you end up with a heap of housekeeping effort to hardlink duplicate objects, all of which is going to be wasted when different people run "git repack".
Not everybody has 100-GB disks and multi-MB Internet pipes to play with...
