Unreachable objects that were in the pack before, are evicted and are now loose. > [git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git prune -n | wc -l > 9468 > [git@438587-beefcake01 panama.git]$ git fsck --unreachable | wc -l > 9468 Now all 9468 unreachable objects are loose and eligible for being pruned. > It looks like `git prune -n` is telling me that it would prune the objects > that I just packed. What am I misunderstanding? git gc moves unreachable objects that were packed before to the loose object store, from where they can be pruned. -- Hannes -- 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
