I also wanted to point out a very interesting effect of our auto-pack
algorithm. After conversion he said he had: "a conversion with approximately
44,000 revisions". If you look at his pack files you get:

And if you count, you have 4 largest size, 3 the next order of magnitude, 6 the
next, then 1, then 2. Which works out to:

43,612 revisions (right about 44k).

Anyway, push and pull and pack will mess up this beautiful layout. But it sure
is an interesting way to figure out how many revisions you have.
