See that. The repack command is so hard to remember, while "git gc" is
fast enough and also runs repack, AND the .git folder becomes 6.6MB
without --aggressive...

I guess the only problem is git version on server is too old, AFAIK
new git will repack automatically when commit or push or before fetch
(?)
