Don't use rsync (or http) access unless you have to.
Try using "git://git.kernel.org/" instead.
Now, it may be that if we have lots of people using it, the CPU usage of the server-side effort will go through the roof, and we'll have to come up with something else (most likely meaning having some mirrors also run git-daemon, so that the CPU overhead can be pushed out too).
The point being that you shouldn't see the packing as even an issue (it should be a per-repository decision). The fact that it shows up is because of using non-git-aware protocols.
