Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.62.0508031259430.23721%40iabervon.org ``` IIRC, git-local-pull still doesn't work for a packed source repository, because it doesn't include the possibility of copying a pack (or extracting an object) if the requested object is in a pack. I can probably fix it if anyone cares, but it's not something I use personally, so I don't know if it's worthwhile. It should probably be removed if we don't fix it, since it will fail on any popular repository at this point. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2005-08-04 20:12 Subject: Re: git-local-pull?

I want to use it in Cogito again, since copying everything obviously sucks and I want to hardlink, so repacking is not a solution either. Didn't you post some patches to fix this long time ago, actually? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox ``` ## barkalow@iabervon.org, 2005-08-04 20:35 Subject: Re: git-local-pull?

Not for local-pull; I only did the other two. local-pull is special, because it's actually dealing with files on disk, and it also has to look at a repository that isn't what you're using. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2005-08-07 05:31 Subject: Re: git-local-pull?
