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.
