This was developed on top of the previous repack/pack-objects series. Junio wrote:
Presumably you meant "exclude objects accessible through alternates, either in packs or in loose form"? If so then I think it is a good thing to have.
This patch set looks like what is necessary to exclude loose objects accessible through alternates from packing.
I think the useful kinds are only these five: - scoop loose objects that exist in local repository into a new pack, without touching existing packs at all; exclude anything available in any existing pack or in alternate repository (either loose or packed);
repack -l
- pack everything that is needed by the local ref, except the ones that are borrowed from alternate repositories (either loose or packed), into a single new pack. There are two variants of this: eject what is currently packed but unnecessary into loose format when existing local packs are replaced with the new pack, or lose them (i.e. -A).
repack -a -l repack -A -l
- fatten local repository by packing everything that is needed by the local ref into a single new pack, including things that are currently borrowed from alternates. There are two variants of this: eject what is currently packed but unnecessary into loose format when existing local packs are replaced with the new pack, or lose them (i.e. -A).
