I don't think you can mix the two, because how my local clone looks
depends on when I run git pull. My local Git doesn't repack to match
packs on the remote.

The logical contents will be equivalent but the underlying data
structure will be different, so rsync only works the first time.

FWIW I also liked the look of squashdelta.
