Yeah, yeah. Call _me_ lazy :-) I'll try to come up with a discussable item today.
- git prune and git fsck-cache; think about their interactions with an object database that borrows from another. This includes the case where .git/objects itself is symlinked to somewhere else (i.e. running "git prune" that somewhere else without consulting this repository would lose objects), and alternates pointing at somewhere else (i.e. ditto).
I don´t see how git could help in the case you are pruning a repository which another repository points to. After all, the first repository doesn´t know about being used by the second.
I am sure I am forgetting something, but the above would be a good start.
Maybe your $GIT_DIR/remotes idea? Along with a "--store <remotename>" flag to git-pull-script? Ciao, Dscho
