cgit performance and packs

Fri Jun 5 14:30:35 UTC 2020

Hi folks,

It takes 50min to git clone from https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/src which is
kinda bad.

Furthermore, I end up with 11GiB of packfiles. What?

How does cgit do its housekeeping when we keep pushing "random crap". Is
there a periodic repacking going on? Is it triggered on upload maybe? Can
we make sure to run with aggressive pruning for now?
