Hi.
Is it possible to add an option akin to git-rev-list's '--ignore-missing' to git-pack-objects?
I use git bundles to (incrementally) backup my repositories. My script inspects all bundles in the backup and passes their contained refs as excludes to git-pack-objects to build the pack for the new bundle. This works fine as long as none of these refs have been garbage-collected in the source repository. Something like '--ignore-missing' would be really handy here to ask git-pack-objects to simply ignore any of the passed revs that are not present (anymore).
Thanks in advance.
