Subject: gc.auto bug in 1.6.5.7
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 11:59:28 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cccedfc61001060959h72a07eb6g78f2ca231867df63@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

It would appear that there is a bug in git, at least as of 1.6.5.7, in
the gc command.
When gc.auto is non-zero, it appears to consider packfiles as "loose"
- this conflicts with pack.packSizeLimit, insofar as I have
pack.packSizeLimit set to 2M (which appears to work).  If gc.auto is,
say, 50 - once I exceed 50 2MB packs then gc --auto repacks *every
single time* it is run. This is unexpected, at least.
