Can you paste "git count-objects -v"? I'm curious why gc keeps so many loose objects around. > Any way to reduce the number of these files to speed up clones? An easy way to get rid of them is to clone the non-local way. Everything will be sent over a pack, the result would be a single pack in new repo. Try "git clone file:///path/to/source/repo new-repo". You can also try "git prune" on the existing repo (read its man page before use). -- Duy -- 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
