This PR improves performance of our Git mirror by adding maintenance steps that optimize packfiles and speed up fetch/clone operations:
git repack -Ad --write-bitmap-index --pack-kept-objects
Consolidates objects into a single optimized packfile and generates a bitmap index.
→ Reduces disk usage, lowers CPU/memory load on git-upload-pack, and makes clones/fetches faster.
git multi-pack-index write --bitmap
Ensures a multi-pack-index with bitmaps is always available, even between full repacks.
→ Keeps incremental fetches efficient without requiring constant heavy repacks.
Together, these changes ensure our mirror serves shallow clones and high-volume fetches more efficiently, with significantly less resource usage under load.
