Is it possible to disable autopack?

I thought that if i exclude the obsolete_packs directory, it wouldn't be
that bad as long as i upload every revision only once.

I'm doing remote backups over a proprietary protocol (jungledisk). It's
a standalone repository with only 2 to 10 commits per day. I'm the only
user of this repository [1]. I thought that it hopefully won't get much
slower as long as there are - say - less than 5000 files?

Mirroring it to an ftp-server is not an option for me since i don't have
a remote server which is secure enough. That's why i'm backing up
file-based with encryption.

[1] I don't care that much backing up repositories used by several
people since everyone has a "backup" anyway.
