Crushed by a giant packfile

Hi All,

I've RTFM and done a bit of an internet search, but I can't find anything which
will help me with my problem, which i this: our otherwise small repository of
web code has one giant 250mb pack file which means a fresh checkout takes ages
on our slow connection. I am wondering if there is some way to find out which
change introduced this huge pack file, or compress it, or some other strategy
to make our repository more manageable which doesn't involve us starting our
revision history from scratch? Sorry if this question is cheeky.

Thanks for all your hard work on this excellent Free Software.

Best,

Chris.
