(I did not find it in the cover letter, nor do I make sense of this documentation) So from what I understand, this series relates to partialClone, which has the remote name of the "promisor" in extensions.partialclone. That is the remote to contact for any needs w.r.t. partial clone and fetching on demand. This key "odb.<name1>.promisorRemote = <name2>" introduces 2 new names, where do each of these two names hook in? name2 is a remote, such as "origin" from what I can tell, but which naming scheme does name1 follow here? What makes the odb key different, in that the partial clone feature only handles objects as well? > pack.window:: > The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no > window size is given on the command line.
