What about a config setting for this? I don't think we want it on by
default, because repacking tends to consume a fair amount of memory and
machine resources (CPU, etc).

However, what if you could set:

 autopack_threshold = 1000 # Number of revisions to handle specilaly
 autopack_action = skip-with-warning, background

Just a thought.
