Re: git push sends more objects than it needs to

Now the "unpack" on kernel.org did the right thing and noticed
that over 9000 of the objects were already in the packfile.  But
I wonder if it couldn't have been smarter and not sent them?

Or am I just subverting the whole paradigm by hand-copying
packfiles around?

The fix for this problem is in 0.99.9 (credits to Johannes).
Unfortunately, 0.99.8f is still in /usr/bin/ on kernel.org.
