You should forget '--stdin-packs' and use '--stdin-commits' to generate the initial graph, it's much faster even without '--additive'[1]. See https://public-inbox.org/git/CAM0VKj=wmkBNH=psCRztXFrC13RiG1EaSw89Q6LJaNsdJDEFHg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I still think that the default behaviour for 'git commit-graph write' should simply walk history from all refs instead of enumerating all objects in all packfiles. [1] - Please excuse the bikeshed: '--additive' is such a strange sounding option name, at least for me. '--append', perhaps?
