Re: [OT] Re: Git repository with full GCC history

I get about 1.4 GB for the pack with the default

I forgot to mention that I obtained an ~800MB repository with git 1.5.0.x after increasing the window size to 20.


The defaults changed significantly somewhere near version 1.5.1 I
believe with the delta caching mechanism making it much less expensive
to use a deeper delta depth.

Did you enable UseDeltaBaseOffset perhaps? Or any of the git-gc configuration parameters?

I suspecet I may have huge loose objects created by
git-svn because of how it does branching and rebasing.


I don't know what Harvey is up to, he claimed his tree
was between 400 and 500 MB.

Sorry, my mistake, the repo I was looking at only contained a clone of trunk.

Mine too. I have not cloned the branches.



I'm starting to pull the rest of the branches now, but I am also a
little surprised at the difference.

Please, make your tree available for inspection.
