Backing git repos to tape?

From: Joakim Tjernlund <hidden>

Is there a preferred way to do the above?

To do a full backup I could just copy the whole repo, but how
do I do inrecmental backups(and restore)?

Try git-bundle. There were in the mailing list archive the recipe
on how to do an "incremental" bundle...

...ahh, there it is, by Johannes "Dscho" Schindelin:

        git bundle create retort.bundle --all \
                --not $(git ls-remote the-other.bundle | cut -c1-40)
