Yea, you need not just the loose object count but also the number of packfiles. git-gui suggests repacking based on loose object count alone right now, but with us keeping fetched packfiles by git-index-pack I found a repository on my desktop the other day that had 30 packfiles in it. I need to fix that in git-gui and also add a limit based on the number of small-ish packfiles present. BTW, I have some users that might as well be Aunt Tillie. They merge any branch they can find. "Oh, look, there's a new branch called Highly-Experimental! I'll bet that's good for merging too!" Asking them to also run git-gc once in a while is like asking them to actually do their job or something... *sighs* OK, I have to go to work and undo that Highly-Experimental merge I found last night. *sigh* -- Shawn. - 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
