Hello,

I'm using Dulwich to store large amounts of data in a Git repository, and have a couple of problems.

First, if the repository is packed by git-gc, Dulwich doesn't seem to know about the packed-refs file. I suppose this is easily fixable, and I can try to provide a patch.

The second is more serious: huge packfiles, upwards of 2GB, can't be read on a 32-bit machine, because of memory mapping. Is this liable to change anytime soon? Is there any workaround, perhaps a way to split a given packfile into multiple smaller ones?

Anyway, so far I've had a great time with Dulwich, thanks for that :)

Cheers,
Alex
