Yeah, but the fact that you have to use repack and prune in order to
keep the disk space usage from exploding (especially with the Linux
2.6 tree) , means that we have to expose that mess to the beginning
user.  Could git be made to do the repacking automatically when it
makes sense using some hueristic algorithm?
