i've never checked before, but i assume that if i add a remote, then fetch from it and subsequently remove that remote, all of the now-unreferenced remote tracking branches in the object store will eventually be discarded by garbage collection, yes? is there a command (git fsck?) that would display exclusively objects in the object store corresponding to objects that are suddenly unreferenced due to the removal of a remote? i was just curious as it would be neat to demo that in a class. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
