Subject: 'git clone' doesn't use alternates automatically?
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:12:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <885649360901301412jd5c6b0dne1eff1ff00dd043e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have a central, shared Git repository on an NFS drive at path
$central. I have added "$central/objects" to
$central/objects/info/alternates. I see that when I clone this
repository with Git 1.6.1, the alternates file is automatically copied
to the clone, but so are all the pack files and loose objects. If I
then cd to the clone and run 'git gc', it removes the redundant local
objects.
I thought I tested this setup a few months back, and 'git clone'
automatically used the alternates file to avoid copying the redundant
objects into the clone. Has this behavior changed, or is my memory
bad?
James
