I think the "Counting objects: $number" phase is purely driven by the timer, as there is no way to say "we are done X per-cent so far". Doesn't your repack show "Counting objects: " with a number once, pause forever and then show "Counting objects: $number, done."? -- 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
