It's more of a gimmick, but I find myself using it occasionally just to decide whether it's time to repack. It falls out automatically - not because I thought I'd ever want it, but because the --unpacked semantics for git-rev-list are what incremental packing needed. (Of course, sane people probably just do "git count-objects" to decide to repack). Linus
