     @rozzin Just starting on the thread. Thanks for posting. At start, at least, ESR seems remarkably hinged. :-)

     I'm consistently #amazed at the sorts of "#all-you-have-to-do-is..." things that #git advocates say with straight faces.

     @rozzin I agree. Yet, the evidence's not well chosen. In case at hand, gymnastics needed to overcome a problem bzr introduced in emacs tree.

     @rozzin Or, at least, so it seems to this non dev who took a serious browse through relevant emacs dev list threads.

     I don't see it. Maybe #ttn even implied that bzr is to blame for git repository bloat, but I'm at a loss as to #why that blame would fit.

     My #StatusNet #git repo is 264 MB without ever having been touched by #bzr. "git gc" gets it down to 252 MB; "git gc --aggressive" gets it down to 77 MB. #Good-thing I have 16 GB RAM in this laptop....

     #esr is an interesting `dialectic' sort of personality. I find him a likable guy, we strongly agree on some points and disagree on others. He's hard to handle for people who can't separate the pieces out; #cf.: http://eduposse.org/conversation/47#notice-52

     Yow, the #gpsd #git repo is currently 100 MB when it should be only ~13 MB: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/4558

     @rozzin As per http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gpsd-dev/2014-01/msg00052.html, does it affect cloning? Ought not, if good design.

     Yes, a badly-packed public #git repo negatively impacts cloning: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/4565
