I see here you've added new config, though, and I don't think we want that. For your purposes, where you're driving pack-objects individually, I think a command-line option makes more sense. If we did want to have a flag for "use bitmaps when repacking via repack", I think it should be "repack.useBitmaps", and git-repack should pass the command-line option to pack-objects. pack-objects is porcelain and should not really be reading config at all. You'll note that pack.writeBitmaps was a mistake and got deprecated in favor of repack.writeBitmaps. I think pack.useBitmaps is a mistake, too, but nobody has really noticed or cared because there's no good reason to set it (the more interesting question is: are there bitmaps available? and if so, we try to use them). -Peff -- 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
