This uses the new "--local" flag to git-pack-objects. It currently only makes a difference together with "-a", since a normal incremental repack won't pack any packed objects at all (whether local or remote). Eventually, it might end up skipping any objects that aren't local to the current object directory, but for now it only knows to skip packed objects. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> --- Ok, that was the last of it. I tested it out by doing a git clone -l -s git newgit cd newgit .. do a dummy commit .. git repack -a -d -l and then cd ../git git repack -a -d cd ../newgit git repack -a -d -l and verified that the repacks in "newgit" all seemed to do the right thing (ie they only repacked objects that weren't packed in the original git, and repacking the original git archive caused the repack in the new one to shrink considerably). This means that my suggested automatic repacking should work fine with alternate object directories too, except my second script (the periodic full repack) would needs to be updated to use the new "-l" flag.
