Do

	echo "/source/git/project/.git/objects/" > .git/objects/info/alternates

and then follow it up with

	git repack -a -d -l

where the "-l" means that it will only put _local_ objects in the 
pack-file (strictly speaking, it will put any loose objects from the 
alternate tree too, so you'll have a fully packed archive, but it won't 
duplicate objects that are already packed in the alternate tree).
