If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then
$GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change
branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow
large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index
again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and
keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

When extract l10n messages, we use "--add-comments" option to keep
comments right above the l10n messages for references. But sometimes
irrelevant comments are also extracted. For example in the following
code block, the comment in line 2 will be extracted as comment for the
l10n message in line 3, but obviously it's wrong.
{ OPTION_CALLBACK, 0, "ignore-removal", &addremove_explicit,
NULL /* takes no arguments */,
N_("ignore paths removed in the working tree (same as
--no-all)"),
PARSE_OPT_NOARG, ignore_removal_cb },
Since almost all comments for l10n translators are marked with the same
prefix (tag): "TRANSLATORS:", it's safe to only extract comments with
this special tag. I.E. it's better to call xgettext as:
xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: ...
Also tweaks the multi-line comment in "init-db.c", to make it start with
the proper tag, not "* TRANSLATORS:" (which has a star before the tag).

When we are sending a packfile to a remote, we currently try
to reuse a whole chunk of packfile without bothering to look
at the individual objects. This can make things like initial
clones much lighter on the server, as we can just dump the
packfile bytes.
However, it's possible that the other side cannot read our
packfile verbatim. For example, we may have objects stored
as OFS_DELTA, but the client is an antique version of git
that only understands REF_DELTA. We negotiate this
capability over the fetch protocol. A normal pack-objects
run will convert OFS_DELTA into REF_DELTA on the fly, but
the "reuse pack" code path never even looks at the objects.
This patch disables packfile reuse if the other side is
missing any capabilities that we might have used in the
on-disk pack. Right now the only one is OFS_DELTA, but we
may need to expand in the future (e.g., if packv4 introduces
new object types).
We could be more thorough and only disable reuse in this
case when we actually have an OFS_DELTA to send, but:
1. We almost always will have one, since we prefer
OFS_DELTA to REF_DELTA when possible. So this case
would almost never come up.
2. Looking through the objects defeats the purpose of the
optimization, which is to do as little work as possible
to get the bytes to the remote.

Heh. And this is why you want to do it exactly *once*, and then just
export the end result for others ;)

But yeah, especially if you allow longer delta chains, the end result can
be much smaller (and what makes the one-time repack more expensive is the
window size, not the delta chain - you could make the delta chains longer
with no cost overhead at packing time)
HOWEVER.
The longer delta chains do make it potentially much more expensive to then
use old history. So there's a trade-off. And quite frankly, a delta depth
of 250 is likely going to cause overflows in the delta cache (which is
only 256 entries in size *and* it's a hash, so it's going to start having
hash conflicts long before hitting the 250 depth limit).
So when I said "--depth=250 --window=250", I chose those numbers more as
an example of extremely aggressive packing, and I'm not at all sure that
the end result is necessarily wonderfully usable. It's going to save disk
space (and network bandwidth - the delta's will be re-used for the network
protocol too!), but there are definitely downsides too, and using long
delta chains may simply not be worth it in practice.
(And some of it might just want to have git tuning, ie if people think
that long deltas are worth it, we could easily just expand on the delta
hash, at the cost of some more memory used!)
That said, the good news is that working with *new* history will not be
affected negatively, and if you want to be _really_ sneaky, there are ways
to say "create a pack that contains the history up to a version one year
ago, and be very aggressive about those old versions that we still want to
have around, but do a separate pack for newer stuff using less aggressive
parameters"
So this is something that can be tweaked, although we don't really have
any really nice interfaces for stuff like that (ie the git delta cache
size is hardcoded in the sources and cannot be set in the config file, and
the "pack old history more aggressively" involves some manual scripting
and knowing how "git pack-objects" works rather than any nice simple
command line switch).
So the thing to take away from this is:
- git is certainly flexible as hell
- .. but to get the full power you may need to tweak things
- .. happily you really only need to have one person to do the tweaking,
and the tweaked end results will be available to others that do not
need to know/care.
And whether the difference between 320MB and 500MB is worth any really
involved tweaking (considering the potential downsides), I really don't
know. Only testing will tell.

The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option
parameters. An option with an optional parameter is bad enough. An
option with multiple parameters is simply insane.
Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated
together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more
uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax
for backward compatiblity.
If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch
today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and
possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option
parameter (hence no need for arg-help). But we do not live in such
an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports
(and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g.
$ git update-index path1 --add path2 \
--cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \
path4
must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these
four paths. So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue
without risking to break people's existing scripts.

"When you need to use space, use dash" is a strange way to say that
you must not use a space. Because it is more common for the command
line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to
use spaces in these places. Rephrase the documentation to avoid
this strangeness.
Fix a few existing multi-word argument help strings, i.e.
- GPG key-ids given to -S/--gpg-sign are "key-id";
- Refs used for storing notes are "notes-ref"; and
- Expiry timestamps given to --expire are "expiry-date".
