Re: Are binary xdeltas only used if you use git-gc?

So I have to git-gc on my side (after the commits), git-gc on the remote,
and then git-push?

Perhaps I haven't made myself clear.

On the local side: git-commit creates loose (compressed, but not
deltified) objects. git-gc packs and deltifies.

On the remote side (for smart protocols, i.e. git and ssh): git
creates _thin_ pack, deltified; 

I don't understand this point: the OP talks about pushing, so isn't
the pack created on the _local_ machine (and then sent to the remote)?
