If you have the list of big objects, you can put them into their own pack file manually. Feed their SHA-1 names on stdin to git pack-objects, and save the resulting pack under .git/objects/pack. Assuming the pack was called pack-DEADC0FFEE.pack, create a file called pack-DEADC0FFEE.keep in the same directory. This will stop Git from trying to repack the contents of that pack file. Now run `git gc` to remove those huge objects from the pack file that contains all of the other stuff. -- Shawn. -- 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
