Hello!
According to ``information on the web'', it should be fine to do ``git
repack -a && rm .git/objects/info/alternates'', however that doesn't work
for me:
$ cat .git/objects/info/alternates
../../../glibc/.git/objects
../../../../O/work.new/.git/objects
$ git repack -a
Counting objects: 18670, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (7655/7655), done.
Writing objects: 100% (18670/18670), done.
Total 18670 (delta 10218), reused 18670 (delta 10218)
$ mv .git/objects/info/alternates{,.DEFUNCT}
$ git branch

What git version are you using?
It seems to work for me:
$ mkdir s
$ cd s
$ git init
$ echo a > a
$ git add a
$ git commit -m i
$ cd ..
$ git clone -s s c
$ cd c
$ git repack -a
$ mv .git/objects/info/alternates .git/objects/info/alternates.orig
$ git branch
* master

Well, according to the log it worked for some branches for Thomas, just
not for all of them. I'm not surprised your test succeeds. In Thomas'
case it seems that repack is missing some dependencies, but it doesn't
even have an --all option or such.
Thomas: In addition to your git version, it would be good to know
whether you use any of
- grafts
- replaced objects
- multiple roots (branches without common commits)
- alternate chains (source repo borrowing objects from a third repo)
