The analysis is incomplete without considering how long it takes to
clone from the original vs. the repacked repository:

# original
git clone ~/repository/final/lmi  0.05s user 0.05s system 84% cpu 0.118 total

# repacked
git clone ~/repository/final-repacked/final/lmi  0.06s user 0.04s system 82% 
cpu 0.130 total

It looks like the repacked repository is preferable. It's twenty-one
percent smaller, so the twelve-millisecond penalty for cloning speed
(locally) is probably overwhelmed by network overhead.
