Hi,

I'm using git-1.5.3.2 and cogito-0.18.1.

After I did a git-gc --prune cg-status didn't show my branches anymore.
git-branch -a still showed the branches.
I think that git-gc removed all files from .git/refs/heads/ except for
origin. Git seams to be fine with the branches in 
 .git/logs/refs/heads/.

So should git-gc not be used together with cogito?

Cheers, Michael

  Cogito doesn't support packed heads - I guess setting gc.packrefs to
false should fix the issue. Cogito should support packed tags, I guess;
I don't know if there's a way to make git-gc pack only tags.

Thank you. I tried it at home too where I had an older version of git. With the older git version git-gc --prune didn't disturbe cogito. I upgradet to git version 1.5.3.4 and tried gc.packrefs=false and it seams to be ok forr cogito.

Cheers, Michael
