On the other hand Linux is fairly large project in terms of LoC, but
it had its history cut when moving to Git, so the ratio of git-archive
of HEAD to the size of packfile is overemphasized here.

Emacs can be a good example if you want a project with a loooong
history.

emacs.git$ git ll | wc -l  
100651
emacs.git$ du -sh emacs.tar.gz .git/objects/pack/pack-144583582d53e273028966c6de2b3fb2fe3504bc.pack 
29M	emacs.tar.gz
138M	.git/objects/pack/pack-144583582d53e273028966c6de2b3fb2fe3504bc.pack
