[PATCH] repack: honor -d even when no new pack was created

From
Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org>
Date

Message-ID
<20060501105748.GE20847@admingilde.org>

If all objects are reachable via an alternate object store then we still have to remove all obsolete local packs.

Without this patch I got the following behaviour:

".git/objects/info/alternates" [Neu] 1L, 38C geschrieben admingilde:~/src/linux-2.6 > git count-objects 107852 objects, 665596 kilobytes admingilde:~/src/linux-2.6 > git repack -a -l -d Generating pack... Done counting 0 objects. Nothing new to pack. admingilde:~/src/linux-2.6 > git prune admingilde:~/src/linux-2.6 > git count-objects 0 objects, 0 kilobytes admingilde:~/src/linux-2.6 > ls .git/objects/pack pack-b3c6fbdfa36a326815de6358885c7a570a986b1b.idx pack-b3c6fbdfa36a326815de6358885c7a570a986b1b.pack pack-e0d76ffe354ef5665028a6cb4506ea902f72e1d0.idx pack-e0d76ffe354ef5665028a6cb4506ea902f72e1d0.pack

After changing git-repack, objects/pack was empty, as expected.
