I mean, it works great right now to do: cd $REP2 echo $REP1/.git/objects > .git/objects/info/alternates git gc Do you mean a more elaborate UI that does this nicely...? or something else? It might be nice to have a mechanism where new objects would update the _alternate_ rather than the object-store in the tree where the command was run... then you could easily have a bunch of trees using a central object store without needing to update the central store occasionally by hand (and do gc in its "clients")... -Miles -- "Most attacks seem to take place at night, during a rainstorm, uphill, where four map sheets join." -- Anon.
