Git blog post: Modernizing repository housekeeping
Proposal
We have recently been iterating quite a lot on the way we do repository housekeeping:
- We use cruft packs.
- We use geometric repacking.
- We use the multi-pack index.
Let's create a blog post that follows up on Git Blog Post - Maintaining Large Repositories (#13735 - closed).
