That sums up most of my experience with git as a whole. ;-)
My brief fiddling with my IPython checkout suggests that only the repack command
does the major amount of compression (although following it up with gc is just
good hygiene). None of those commands ought to do damage. Pushing to github
doesn't seem to affect later checkouts, though. github does seem to run a
standard no-options gc on every push, but they don't seem to repack.
