Packs got there through rsyncs all the way from git-core, and my immediate naive git-unpack-objects didn't actually do anything since all the objects were, well, in .git/objects/pack/thatpackfile. Obviously, this behaviour is reasonable when you think about it, but rather pitfallous, I would say. At least documenting it might be worthwhile. BTW, if you pull now, be prepared to get git-core from elsewhere, since it will disappear from under your hands as I just unbundled it from Cogito. ;-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox
