You obviously didn't :)
 After a not so long CPU burning session I got:

    $ git repack -afd --window=250 --depth=250 --window-memory=700M
    Counting objects: 374712, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (368454/368454), done.
    Writing objects: 100% (374712/374712), done.
    Total 374712 (delta 289361), reused 0 (delta 0)
    git repack -afd --window=250 --depth=250 --window-memory=700M  1737,75s user 8,71s system 148% cpu 19:39,01 total

    8,6M   pack/pack-ad6dbaf8667bd8f2383f4f558d8ca3d3cd72b291.idx

Git has a way to make us feel tinyâ

Anyway, for the sake of the cloners, I'd really suggest you to do that on the
redhat repository as well :)
