Yes, only once, when it is done $ ./git repack -a -d -f warning: no threads support, ignoring --threads Counting objects: 140302, done. Compressing objects: 1% (1385/138407) -- 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
