Hi GITers, So, after you dink around in a GIT tree for a while, and you discover little bloblets left around by using git-fsck-cache, what do you do? How can you clean up afterwards? Specifically, I have a GIT tree that shows some dangling blobs that are unreferenced in my tree. Not sure how the got there, but I've verified through git-cat-file that the contents of many of those blobs are actually validly represented in my tree. Yet, fsck suggests they dangle. So, for each of the various fsck warnings, what can be done to clean things up and yet maintain integrity in the tree? I have apparently unreferenced blobs. I should be able to just "rm .git/objects/xx/<sha1>" and be done with them, right? What about the other warnings? Thanks, jdl
