Erm, Subversion repository, result of cvs2svn conversion:

(in first post in this thread).

Otherwise that should be quite easy to add a batch size argument to 
git-repack so git-rev-list and git-pack-objects are called multiple 
times with sequential commit ranges to create a repo with multiple
packs. 

Good idea. In addition to best size pack limted by 32bit and/or RAM size +
swap size limit, there are (rare) limits of maximum filesize on filesystem,
e.g. FAT28^W FAT32.
