$ cd got.git/objects/pack
$ ls -lrt *.pack | tail -5
-rw-r--r--  1 naddy  naddy   427612 Feb  6 16:25 pack-e2fdbbeab037003a8c7f9c2d6fba537b654bf820.pack

I think those last three packs are the fetches since I switched to
got.gameoftrees.org.

$ gotadmin ls pack-e568a08d8cc5a396b3e1cb52c9109acaf9ca4026.pack | wc
    5627   41832  482462

Well, that's a lot.

Comparing only the first field, the hash, from gotadmin ls's output
shows that the packs are largely redundant:

47 new hashes from pack-5805835 to pack-d53d7b1.
5 new hashes from pack-d53d7b1 to pack-e568a08.

The thousands of other hashes are the same.  So got(1) now appears
to be downloading the same stuff over and over again.  That doesn't
seem right.
