When running git clone, it seems that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is not considered. Even though most of the needed objects are in GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, I still wind up with a ton of traffic over the network and a huge .git/objects hierarchy. Running "git gc" later pares down the .git/objects to a more reasonable size, so it seems the problem is limited to git clone. Using "git clone --reference" also seems to do the right thing. Is this behavior intentional for some good reason I've overlooked, or have I stumbled on a bug? -- Brian Ristuccia brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
