Hi,
I would like to create packfiles with charm-numbered size (that is for
example use 49.99M instead of 50M) with git-repack:
$ git repack --max-pack-size=49.99M -a -d
But Git didn't support it:
error: option `max-pack-size' expects a non-negative integer value with an optional k/m/g suffix
The workaround was scaling down to kibibytes:
$ git repack --max-pack-size=52418K -a -d
But the workaround is a rather convoluted to me, because I must convert
mebibytes (MiB) to kibibytes (KiB). I had to multiply the desired
packfile size by 1024, as opposed to by 1000 in familiar size notation
(kilobytes [KB] and megabytes [MB]).
It would be nice if non-negative floating-point number can be allowed in
--max-pack-size option, so that many users don't have to scale down size
notation like above.
PS: charm numbers are most often used in pricing, because it's almost
used everywhere (part of psychological pricing).
Thanks.
