I suspect "git push --thin origin" might help, if you are on my
"master" branch:

        diff-tree a79a276... (from 2245be3...)

            Add git-push --thin.

            Maybe we would want to make this default before it graduates to
            the master branch, but in the meantime to help testing things,
            this allows you to say "git push --thin destination".

Will try that.  I eventually gave up on the last push when it ran for 45
minutes at full cpu usage, and X got killed by the OOM killer in the
kernel for some reason...

Nice, this worked!

Now what's the odds that when I pull from the server to another box
these same objects, the server will have the same problem as git-push
did?

will go try that now...
