Hi,
I'm interested in working on the "Improve disk space recovery for partial clones" project. I am studying the codebase, particularly promisor-remote.c, builtin/backfill.c, and the partial clone documentation.
I have a question to clarify the scope and direction of the project. The project description mentions that git-backfill vs git-gc vs git-repack vs git-maintenance is still undecided. Has there been any recent discussion or consensus on this? I want to make sure my proposal aligns with the community's direction.
sincerely,
Yuvraj
