Thank you for the suggestion.

I know about `git-bundle` however I don't want only a backup, but in
case I need also a "working" git repository, thus my option for `git
push --mirror`.

But indeed, if one only wants to backup a Git repository, then `git
bundle` is the best option as it results in only one file, which
OpenAFS handles flawlessly.

However on the downside of bundle, there is no support for incremental
backups;  i.e. each new backup will be a full dump.

Ciprian.
