I know you must have a good reason to switch to the 'pack' form in the git

surprised to download 110 MB of data to get roughly 150 changed lines.
Don't use rsync (or http) access unless you have to.
Try using "git://git.kernel.org/" instead.
Now, it may be that if we have lots of people using it, the CPU usage of
the server-side effort will go through the roof, and we'll have to come up
with something else (most likely meaning having some mirrors also run
git-daemon, so that the CPU overhead can be pushed out too).
The point being that you shouldn't see the packing as even an issue (it
should be a per-repository decision). The fact that it shows up is because
of using non-git-aware protocols.

Thanks for the explanation. I have to admit that git is pretty much a black box to me. I use the
guide at http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html and it recommends using rsync. I'll have to figure out
how to change to git protocol.
