Re: Performance issue: initial git clone causes massive repack

I haven't read all this morning submissions to the thread yet, but I
wanted to make two posts before I leave on a trip (in ~20 minutes), and
I'll be back late on Thursday.

To me, this is a non-issue (if the content of these objects are
secret, then why are they here at all on a public server?), but I
think there were discussions here about it (can't find the right
keywords to dig the archives though), and other people may think
differently.

Guess who was involved in that discussion...
I may allow you to pull certain branches directly from my own PC through 
the git native protocol.  That doesn't mean you have direct access to 
the whole of any of the packs I have on my disk.

If the native rsync protocol is allowed to the repo, then that argument
is moot.
