7 If one git repacks every few syncs one needs currently about 800 MB.
8
9 With additionally squashfs (zstd) (+ overlayfs) the full
10 archive size is currently <600 MB.
11
12 In both cases, the temporary disk space is slightly more, of course.
13 For a 1GB reserved partition I'd use the partition for the temporary
14 mounting and store the archive somewhere else, but I think chances are
15 good that you also come through with only a git repack after
16 every sync. A difficulty might be the very first git sync.
