The public repo where people clone from should\nnot have the grafts-file, and you should run \"git repack -a -d\"\nin that repository to prevent dumb commit walkers from getting\naccess to all your ancient history through a mega-pack.\n\n-- \nAndreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se\nOP5 AB www.op5.se\nTel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231\n"}]}
