Now I don't know what is going on, I tried to reproduce my packfile
and get a 1.4GB packfile.  But I'm sure I redid the same operations?
I'd just disregard my size numbers until I can figure out what I've

I did recently upgrade to the tip of 'next' branch of git, will go
back to my previous version.

I have set

[core]
	legacyheaders = false
[repack]
	usedeltabaseoffset = true

in my .gitconfig.
