Hello!

I provide dumb HTTP access to a git repository on a server where I can't
enable the smart HTTP protocol. When the history of the repository
grows, should I run git repack to pack all revisions together? Would
that cause clients that just want to download a few commit to download
the whole pack? What is recommended to do?

Yours, Robert Clausecker
