The workaround, so far as I know, is to hit ^C and do it again; the second time it will fetch 1 object (the actual tag) instead of 700000. If that's not the case, I'm even more confused about what's going on. And if you notice Linux tagging something before you pull, it would be great if you could capture the contents of .git/refs/ before you pull and send it to me if it does this. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - 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
