* "git peek-remote" is deprecated, as "git ls-remote" was written in C
and works for all transports, and will be removed in the future.
+ * From v1.5.5, the repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option will default
+ to true, which will give denser packfile (i.e. more efficient storage).
+ The downside is that git older than version 1.4.4 will not be able
+ to directly use a repository packed using this setting.

+ * From v1.5.5, the pack.indexversion config option will default to 2,
+ which is slightly more efficient, and makes repacking more immune to
+ data corruptions. Git older than version 1.5.2 may revert to version 1
+ of the pack index with a manual "git index-pack" to be able to directly
+ access corresponding pack files.
