Re: [PATCH v2] gc: make --prune useful again by accepting an optional parameter

Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] writes:

With this patch, "git gc --no-prune" will not prune any loose (and
dangling) object, and "git gc --prune=5.minutes.ago" will prune
all loose objects older than 5 minutes.

This patch benefitted from suggestions by Thomas Rast and Jan Krüger.

Thanks.

Being able to say --no-$opt to an OPT_STRING to NULLify a variable that
has non-NULL default value is somewhat amusing ;-)
