That's a rather large number, but if there was recent ref maintenance (e.g., deleting branches or tags), it is not impossible. Any way to reduce the number of these files to speed up clones?

If you have git v1.7.12 or greater, you can also use the --no-local option to clone. But as you mentioned, pruning is probably the most sensible thing (and for a non-local clone, those objects should not impact performance at all, as we will never even look at unreferenced objects). -Peff -- 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
