Subject: [PATCH] Teach git-gc to only repack local (not borrowed) objects.
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:47:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061227234753.GA16389@spearce.org> (raw)

This feature was suggested by Martin Waitz on the git mailing list
and is actually the correct thing to do.  If the current repository
is borrowing objects from repository then this repository is not
usually considered to be maintaining the objects which are available
through that other repository's object database.  We really should
only repack objects which are stored directly in this repository,
so supply -l to git-repack.
