Perhaps change the documentation of the switch? I think this is "incorrect expectation". The document says: > -n:: > - Only list the objects that would be unpacked, don't actually unpack > - them. I suspect that you were trying to unpack in a repository that already had that object? They are not "the objects that would be unpacked" hence not listed. - 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
