Even before we get Git 1.5.0 installed on master.kernel.org (and we should really ask hpa to do that), is there a reason we haven't done something like this across all of the kernel repo's on master.kernel.org? for i in <list of kernel git repo's on master.kernel.org> do pushd $i if [ ! -f objects/info/alternates ]; then echo /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects \ > objects/info/alternates git repack -a -d -l fi popd done - Ted - 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
