Needs design, discussion, implementation. I'm just noting this here because it's one of the big performance things that we keep talking about. See also * http://mornfall.net/blog/designing_storage_for_darcs.html * http://wiki.darcs.net/PacksSpecification

How is this different from "optimize --packs" ?

Closing it as "duplicate" of packs, which already has tickets.

optimize --packs is not ideal. It needs to be run by some external agent, requiring some sort of scripting. Its implementation is rather crude. Git does this a lot better by automatically packing loose objects. There are beginnings of a proper implementation (by mornfall, who else?) hidden in the darcs history.
