Hi, people. This is for git version 1.6.4.rc3.12.gdf73a The output of "git help rerere" contains: You need to set the configuration variable rerere.enabled to enable this command. It seems that that "enable" is not a proper value. If I used it over a small repository, I get: 22:17:33 0 pinard@phenix:etc $ git config rerere.enabled enable 22:17:44 0 pinard@phenix:etc $ git gc Counting objects: 1072, done. Compressing objects: 100% (559/559), done. Writing objects: 100% (1072/1072), done. Total 1072 (delta 460), reused 1072 (delta 460) fatal: bad config value for 'rerere.enabled' in .git/config error: failed to run rerere Removing the rerere section repairs this last problem. P.S. - I'm also a bit curious about why rerere is needed for a garbage collection. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
