Amon can this help?

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-pack-objects.html

¿And in particular this?

--depth=<n>

These two options affect how the objects contained in the pack are stored
using delta compression. The objects are first internally sorted by type,
size and optionally names and compared against the other objects within
--window to see if using delta compression saves space. --depth limits the
maximum delta depth; making it too deep affects the performance on the
unpacker side, because delta data needs to be applied that many times to
get to the necessary object. The default value for --window is 10 and
--depth is 50.
 --window-memory=<n>

This option provides an additional limit on top of --window; the window
size will dynamically scale down so as to not take up more than *<n>* bytes
in memory. This is useful in repositories with a mix of large and small
objects to not run out of memory with a large window, but still be able to
take advantage of the large window for the smaller objects. The size can be
suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". --window-memory=0 makes memory usage
unlimited, which is the default.
 --max-pack-size=<n>

Maximum size of each output pack file. The size can be suffixed with "k",
"m", or "g". The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB. If specified,
multiple packfiles may be created. The default is unlimited, unless the
config variable pack.packSizeLimit is set.
