I vaguely recall raising a related topic for "quick repack, assuming everything in existing packfiles are reachable, that only removes loose cruft" several weeks ago. Once you decide that your quick repack do not care about ejecting objects from existing packs, like how I suspect Martin's outline will lead us to, we can repack the reachable loose ones on the recent surface of the history and then concatenate the contents of existing packs, excluding duplicates and possibly adjusting the delta base offsets for some entries, without traversing the bulk of the history. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
