but your /usr should be large enough if /usr/local and /usr/local/src are not!!!
I don't think you need to generate anything.
Or you are saying that the problem is the number of files I have, not the
total size of the files? In any event there should be a plenty of files in /usr

Yep. I found checkout -f works before I got the rest alternative.

I was pleased that git did not lock me out of committing a few
deletions for *.pdf, *.doc and makefiles after repack started.
repack -a -d just finished and I started clone again.
It's already deltifying at 6%.

Thank you.
