It gets rid of a lot (but not all) of the extra objects that\npollute the 'gitk --all' output.\n\nOne word of caution is that the Stack Git log has saved me from losing\nwork when I've done something bone headed so I tend to clear the log\nonly when I'm sure I've got everything I need committed upstream.\n"}]}
