I can't think of one. These .keep files are originally lock files and ignoring them sounds like a bad idea. Perhaps we could add --no-keep-pack later to explicit not keep a pack, ignoring .keep file if present? >> diff --git a/t/t7700-repack.sh b/t/t7700-repack.sh >> index 38247afbec..553d907d34 100755 >> --- a/t/t7700-repack.sh >> +++ b/t/t7700-repack.sh >> @@ -196,5 +196,24 @@ test_expect_success 'objects made unreachable by grafts only are kept' ' >> git cat-file -t $H1 >> ' >> >> +test_expect_success 'repack --keep-pack' ' >> + test_create_repo keep-pack && >> + ( >> + cd keep-pack && >> + for cmit in one two three four; do >> + test_commit $cmit && >> + git repack -d >> + done && > > Style: replace "; " before do with LF followed by a few HT. > > This 'for' loop would not exit and report error if an early > test_commit or "git repack -d" fails, would it? Yeah.
