ok, there's one other question i need some info on (thank you to nguyen for answering about git cat-file): is there a way to make git-pack-objects _just_ give the index file, rather than go to all the trouble of creating the pack file as well? the reason i ask is because i would like to get the index file, parse it for objects (as nicolas recommends) then present the contents of "git cat-file" as files within subdirectories, via this pseudo-VFS-layer over bittorrent. tia, l. -- 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
