Is there an alternative to "git repack -a -d" that repacks everything
but the first pack?
That would be a pretty good idea for big repositories. If I were to
implement it, I would actually add a .git/config option like
pack.permanent so that more than one pack could be made permanent; then
to repack really really everything you'd need "git repack -a -a -d".
Actually there is something like this, as seen from the source of
git-repack:
for e in `cd "$PACKDIR" && find . -type f -name '*.pack' \
| sed -e 's/^\.\///' -e 's/\.pack$//'`
do
if [ -e "$PACKDIR/$e.keep" ]; then
: keep
else
args="$args --unpacked=$e.pack"
existing="$existing $e"
fi
done
So, just create a file named as the pack, but with extension ".keep".
