[PATCH] allow git-bundle to create bottomless bundle

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While "git bundle" was a useful way to sneakernet incremental
changes, we did not allow:

	$ git bundle create v2.6.20.bndl v2.6.20

to create a bundle that contains the whole history to a
well-known good revision.  Such a bundle can be mirrored
everywhere, and people can prime their repository with it to
reduce the load on the repository that serves near the tip of
the development.

 Only very lightly tested, but the fix looks obvious enough.
