Congrats for a job well done.
Agree totally. And the whole pack thing is really cool. Git is sooo much
faster when running from pack-files only on my poor laptop.
Now is there anything for us poor mortals who would want to have
a "pull" support? Logging in via ssh and run send-pack on the
other end is workable but not so pretty ;-).
Agreed again :-)
Even cooler would be pack-pulls via http. That would be a bit hard on
the servers with the current git-pack-objects, but it ought to be
possible to create something similar that doesn't re-delta anything, but
instead just spits out what's in an existing pack-file, and (perhaps)
deltifies objects from the file system.
If people then re-pack their repositories occasionally, this should be
plenty fast, the number of files for rsync to deal with could be kept
down, as could download times for mortal users.
