The two things git users can do to help is:
1. Make sure your alternatives file is set up correctly;
2. Keep your trees packed and pruned, to keep the file count down.
If you do this, the load imposed by a single git tree is fairly negible.
Would kernel hackers be amenable to having their trees auto-repacked,
and linked via alternatives to Linus's linux-2.6.git?
Looking through kernel.org, we have a ton of repositories, however
packed, that carrying their own copies of the linux-2.6.git repo.
Also, I wonder if "git push" will push only the non-linux-2.6.git
objects, if both local and remote sides have the proper alternatives set up?
