What are the demerits of deleting .pack files from a Git repository?

Question

为了减少存档的大小（从某种意义上说，作者不太关心 repo 的历史，但如果我们可以保留它是首选）Git 存储库，如果我从中删除 .pack 文件，会发生什么将是我未来可能面临的问题？

Answer 1

You won't get the history indeed, since the pack files are commits packed (delta compressed) , plus their .idx index files, now faster with 2.25 .

That means a simple git archive would be enough to capture the current state of the repo (without history) in a much small file.
