It's time. Please test main in preparation for a 0.34 release. This is
a substantial release with a lot of change, so closer scrutiny is
warranted. See note/main.md for an overview, which may suggest changes
relevant to you that warrant closer scrutiny.

https://codeberg.org/bup/bup/src/branch/main

And it's not critical, but if you have the space (and time) and you
happen to test repository conversions via say `bup get --rewrite`ing to
a new repository (and if you're comfortable sharing some information),
we'd be interested in the effect. For example, how did the object count
change:

# Assuming you have -c support
du -ch REPO/objects/pack/pack-*.idx | tail -n1

And how did the overall size of the repository change (du -sh REPO)?

Thanks

Oh, and this is of course the total idx size, but that's proportional to
the object count (plus or minus the per-idx fixed costs).

The "count:" in "git --git-dir REPO count-objects -v" would also work,
just a slightly different measurement. Happy to know both.
