Thanks for the tips, Martin.

NP! :-)

How does git over rsync work? It is unauthenticated, like git over
http? Or authenticated, like git+ssh?

I've always used it as rsync+ssh. Not sure about bare rsync.

Great ideas though. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to use
the repack locally and then upload strategy for this particular
workflow, but the rsync clone approach might do it.

A few specific versions of git had bad repack cpu/memory usage
patterns, so an update to git might help. In any case, the repack
machinery experts are probably asleep. Give it a bit of time and
smarter answers will probably materialise.
