Hi,
After a git repack, git count-objects reports there are still 20
objects in the repository. It looks like those are temp objects:
  erik@arthur:~/git/linux-2.6 > ls .git/objects/??/
  .git/objects/14/:
  d6545767f5103b5ef4702bc8fffa18dbe32ce1.temp
  .git/objects/1a/:
  d37b580be4215f1b0927b7560f5e8b8d1bc0fa.temp
  [...]
Is there a git command to remove those objects in a safe way, or can
I
just rm them without "harming" git??

	$ git prune-packed

When you repack, you can run

	$ git repack -d

to remove loose objects when you're done packing.

What is being asked is not about loose objects but droppings
commit walkers make when interrupted.

I think *.temp files are garbage and you can safely remove
them.  They are not even correct objects.

That's indeed what I meant.

It looks like it was safe to remove, all git commands I tried just
work.


Thanks,
