I am uncertain about not re-examining the packs it originally thought it had. By prepending the new ones (and the same old surviving ones) at the beginning you are effectively hiding the old packs, which sounds reasonable in the usual case. Also I suspect this might have funny interaction with the case where there are hand-added packs (see how verify-pack does it). We do not silently "fix" missing object problems we discover there. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
