Indeed.

The way I read it > git-prune(1), it defaults to pruning everything anyway. I hope not. IIRC I set the default to 2 weeks. *goes to read the source* Ah, that default is only set in "git gc", and "git prune" still prunes everything. So you're absolutely correct. But maybe we do not want to direct the user to use "prune" here, but rather "gc"? Ciao, Dscho
