Hi,

I kinda like it [listing the commands git-gc calls], and it might be helpful if someone's got a large repo and one part of gc for some reason didn't complete so they want to start at whatever step it broke off on.

Let me clarify: I do not like the listing in the man page. This suggests to the user to delve into plumbing areas where it is all too easy to shoot yourself in the foot.


I misunderstood.

I have nothing against listing the commands per se. But the man page is too exposed IMHO. (Or would you like to add the original shell script to git-log's man page, too?)

My preferred location would be somewhere near Documentation/technical/, so that people reading the commands are more likely to understand the consequences.

But maybe I'm wrong.


Having read the reasoning, I confess myself convinced. Thanks for clarifying.
