Proper Publishing of a Repository

Folks,

So, I feel like I missed a step in the grand
"How To Publish A Repository" scheme of things.

I made a repo visible over on jdl.com.  No problem.
But cloning it took forever.  So I ran "git-repack"
on it.  Now cloning only takes hours, not forever.

All this on the linux kernel over HTTP.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Thanks,
jdl

Use git:// protocol (git-daemon) if possible.  It is much faster.

Trust me, if it were an option, I would.  It isn't.

So, I think git-prune-packed was the answer here...
