okay, so why git fast-import does not let some note somewhere (to be
picked by git gc later) "a fast-import has been run, use -f for next
repack if you want best compression" ?
I'd think that would make a lot of sense, and that users that now
naively (like me) think git-gc would always be enough would not be
dramatically wrong ? :)
I mean it's nothing *very* important but some
`touch $GIT_DIR/info/unpacked-fast-import` in fast-import then:
if test -f $GIT_DIR/info/unpacked-fast-import; then
REPACK_OPTIONS=$REPACK_OPTIONS\ -f
fi
// do the repack
rm -f $GIT_DIR/info/unpacked-fast-import
would do the trick, wouldn't it ?
