That word does make my backside somewhat itchy ;-) Would it help to take a step back and think what the option really does? Perhaps we should call it --pack-all-objects, which is short for --pack-all-objectsregardless-of-where-they-currently-are-stored, or something? The word "all" gives a wrong connotation in a different way (e.g. "regardless of reachability" is a possible wrong interpretation), so that does not sound too good, either. "--repack-kept-objects"? "--include-kept-objects"? -- 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
