I use HTTP as transport and thus the new pack will be download (which is almost 100 MB), but that is fine. However it seems that the old (previous) pack will never be deleted. For the no longer needed object files I can use git-prune-packed, but the old pack I have to identify and delete by myself. Exists an easy and nice way to get rid of old unneeded packs? Can't git-prune-packed also do this job? Regards Marcel
