I think the standard operating procedure for that is to still clone with the "--reference" option first, and then do "repack -a -d" in the resulting clone (note the lack of "-l" option in "repack"). After that repack, you should be able to discard the alternates file. $ git clone --reference ../there otherhost:repo ours.git $ cd ours.git $ git repack -a -d ;# no "-l"!!! $ mv .git/objects/info/alternates .git/objects/info/alter-nates $ git fsck $ rm .git/objects/info/alter-nates -- 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
Priming git clone with a local repo?
Hi, dear listers, I'm wondering if there is (or will be) a way of doing almost git clone --reference localrepo host:canonrep Basically, I don't want the implications of --reference but still the performance advantages of reusing local objects/pack files. I probably have to go and first do a git clone -s -n localrepo canonrepo and then go into canonrepo, fix up the remote, fetch, and properly reset the local branch. Is there an easier way of doing a --reference-but-hardlink-objects-instead-of-setting-alternate within git? Or implementing it? Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."
