Thank you.
This is was I was looking for. My motivation is whether it is possible
to run a system, for example Debian on a computer on top of gitfs,
and then have a huge mirror on it, for example a complete 252GB
Debian mirror as space efficient as possible.
I wonder how big a deltified Debian mirror in one pack file would be. :)
