Ack, -1. We still need to backup the full repository on every commit.
We have had to restore from that at least once before, when something
really weird happened to the repository and we couldn't fix it. (Yes,
of course we have to figure out what went wrong, but in the meantime
we need a working repository).
The solution is to remove old repository backups after they're no
longer relevant. I imagine we only should keep the most recent 20 or
so around. We can use that script (headify.sh, just checks out the
head tree from a repos backup) to convert the others and remove the
repositories. That way we don't lose any information, we just make it
a bit harder to retrieve.
We've already headified everything up to rev 793. I'll remove those
repositories, and then headify some more and remove some more.
