I think this is an idea to solve a good problem, but if we go this route, the need for us to worry about expiring lost-found entries would become more urgent, I suspect. And when you think about expiring lost-found entries, another possible solution emerges. If we teach git-prune to remove the corresponding entry from lost-found/other when it removes a loose blob from the object store, then we can easily and safely do this instead: $ cat .git/lost-found/other/* | xargs -r git grep 'the word to look for' - 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
