I am just pulling a branch of Launchpad and getting the dreaded "repacking" message. This usually takes a very long time, depending on disk speed I've had it take 20 minutes.

Rob C suggested that it doesn't need to block writes and could be backgrounded. Another idea of mine would be to have bzr prompt/nag me if if thinks a repack is necessary, for example:

$ bzr pull
Repository needs repacking, do it now [Y/N], or run in the [B]ackground?
