If I do git-push ~/somelocaldir it forces a full unpack of the project, is this expected? I was expecting a harmless copy of the packs...

At the moment, it means 900MB when I am initializing the public repo. I haven't found the way to convince it to use rsync. Still running repack.

cheers,

martin
