I see that Linus made a new incremental pack when he released 2.6.14-rc3 ... so to be nice to the kernel.org mirroring daemons I should make use of them.

After the excitement I had last time with packs and trying to make use of alternate directories, I thought I'd check the process before I touched anything.

1) Link the new pack files from Linus' objects/pack directory
to my objects/pack directory.
2) $ GIT_DIR=. git prune-packed # in my directory
3) $ GIT_DIR=. git update-server-info # ditto
Ok?
