Subject: git clone ignores GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:58:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090730175833.GV12813@osiris.978.org> (raw)
When running git clone, it seems that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is
not considered. Even though most of the needed objects are in
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, I still wind up with a ton of traffic over
the network and a huge .git/objects hierarchy.
Running "git gc" later pares down the .git/objects to a more reasonable
size, so it seems the problem is limited to git clone. Using "git clone
--reference" also seems to do the right thing.
Is this behavior intentional for some good reason I've overlooked, or have I
stumbled on a bug?
