I would use more like --depth=16 or 32 in my local repositories. >> and mark the result with .keep; > > I guess you refer to a toplevel '.keep' file. Not at all. And it is not documented, it seems X-<. Typically you have a pair of files in .git/objects/pack, e.g. .git/objects/pack/pack-2e3e3b332b446278f9ff91c4f497bc6ed2626d00.idx .git/objects/pack/pack-2e3e3b332b446278f9ff91c4f497bc6ed2626d00.pack And you can add another file next to them .git/objects/pack/pack-2e3e3b332b446278f9ff91c4f497bc6ed2626d00.keep to prevent the pack from getting repacked. I think "git clone" does this for you after an initial import. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
