I was actually to asck if there is a way to pack only tags, or perhaps even only true tags (i.e. using tag objects). It's usually the number of tags that limits performance by being I/O bound (for example for gitweb), and tags change rather rarely so modyfying/adding/deleting packed ref need not to be over-optimized for speed. --=20 Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
