   @are0h @webinista It's funny how Linus goes "you should do it overnight" with depth/window 250/250, because he's back in 2007. On my 2013 laptop, linux.git with 1000/1000 doesn't need overnight. :-)

   So apparently `--aggressive` doesn't just mean higher depth and window, it also means discard deltas (that `-f` to git-repack). I had forgotten that!

   So I guess obscure emails on random tangentially-related mailing lists are another source of ... osmosis. The information flow in these projects is so bad, I sometimes think maybe taking a time machine back to 2008 and then not have a life is the easy way to learn the crooks and crannies. I guess time travel can be emulated by reading ancient issues of LWN every weekend. Neither is optimal.
   
   Maybe just hanging around people who already did it, and asking questions, is the reasonable way.
