I noticed that a while ago: when repacking multiple packs when one has a .keep file, the resulting additional pack contains too many blobs and trees, contrary to when only packing loose objects: $ git init $ echo a > a; git add a; git commit -m a $ git gc Counting objects: 3, done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), done. Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) $ git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/pack-b87e61e2dc18ff37624d7f996f1270f923411530.pack 4bba7c0583de30efff4097299f89b199ab4a6dff commit 160 116 12 78981922613b2afb6025042ff6bd878ac1994e85 blob 2 11 167 aaff74984cccd156a469afa7d9ab10e4777beb24 tree 29 39 128 .git/objects/pack/pack-b87e61e2dc18ff37624d7f996f1270f923411530.pack: ok $ touch .git/objects/pack/pack-b87e61e2dc18ff37624d7f996f1270f923411530.keep $ echo b > b; git add b; git commit -m b $ git gc Counting objects: 3, done.
