Huh!?

This is the Qt repository where daily work does happen:
$ du -sh .git/objects
831M    .git/objects

$ git count-objects -v
count: 5094
size: 22432
in-pack: 1163310
packs: 2
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0

[There's one .keep file for a large .pack]

My repository is no larger than that of the other 10-15 developers using 
Git (git-p4).

There are some speed issues: cold cache and non-Linux performance. We have 
some old dinosaurs in our compile farm and some of them take a long time 
to process a single "git status" -- and some of the newest WIndows too. 
That has not stopped us. We are very happy with it, even considering 
Perforce is *very* fast in our network.

I'm using git-new-workdir in my different checkouts of Qt. The Windows 
developers aren't so lucky -- they clone. But they don't seem to be 
complaining either.
