Hi, As I did a git pull on my project today, git went into some kind of auto gc mode: Auto packing the repository for optimum performance. You may also run "git gc" manually. See "git help gc" for more information. Counting objects: 4531, done. This is, of course, quite an annoying feature since it could hit at any (inconvenient) time. The git help tells me I can disable it by setting gc.auto to 0, while the mailing list archive tells me I also have to set gc.autopacklimit to 0. This is fine, but if I do that, I won't know when the repo is in need of cleanup. Is there any option I can set to instruct it to simply TELL me when it's in need of gc? -- 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
