Until you read all the incoming pack data, you won't know what objects are used as bases for others, so unless you are keeping everything in core, you would have to spool the incoming data to a file and then rewrite the final pack file to "drop" these "can be safely dropped" objects, with or without offset delta encoding. -- 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
