The --aggressive option is undocumented in 1.5.2. What
is it supposed to do?
It is documented in my freshly compiled and installed git:
In the source, I see it just passes "-f" to git-repack, which
I already did manually, with no improvement.
So there must be something strange in your repository if
it packs that much better than mine. Could you please
publish it somewhere so I can make some tests?
