Re: pack operation is thrashing my server

As a quick workaround you could try it with a 32bit git executable?
(assuming you have a distribution with proper multilib support)

In this case, I do have control over the server (running Arch Linux,
which should do 32-bit multilib just fine), but for my workflow I
cannot assume that the server will have 32-bit git support.

I will use the previously mentioned solution of doing the packing
elsewhere for now as a band-aid, with hopes that this will get fixed
sometime soon.

Thanks!
