The directory name should not matter at all. I guess it could even be
this\ is\ a\ totally\ crazy\ dir\ even\ containing\ unicode\ äöü\ -\ 47.11
and it should work properly (just guessing, never tested).

Great.

As I said previously you might like to use some better compression
method which should drastically help for text files and would make our
ftpmasters and all mirrors way more happy. Once you did so it might
make sense to start from scratch following exactly the Debian Med
policy how to create Git repositories.
Good luck
Andreas.
