The issue is that the alias shouldn't be just "gc", but "find-all-repositories-and-do-gc-there". Currently, AFAIK, that can only be done with a (trivial) script external to git. I suppose this can easily be added to the core git porcelain. Perhaps a "git gc --recursive" would do. It doesn't solve the problem, but makes it easier to solve it (git gc --recursive in cron for example). -- Matthieu - 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
