hi,

New git-gui does not honor gc.auto=0 setting for his loose object warning.

The loose object warning from git-gui poped up 3 times in the last 4 hours (i've gc'ed the repo every time).

I've already set gc.auto=0 so i do _NOT_ want git to do anything automatically.

On every new git release there are new automatism that i've to disable. Is there a way to just disable all this automatism in all git tools globaly?

cu, michael

This isn't a per-hour warning. What's happening is there are loose objects which git-gc has not pruned away. Try running git-prune in the repository to decrease the loose object count.

Hmm. Maybe git-gui should look at this flag on startup and if set simply not perform the loose object count check.

No.

I've clicked yes (to remove the loose objects) on every popup of the loose object warning dialog.

That would be nice, yes.
