Subject: [PATCH] repack: honor -d even when no new pack was created
Message-ID: <20060501105748.GE20847@admingilde.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060501105748.GE20847%40admingilde.org

```
If all objects are reachable via an alternate object store then we
still have to remove all obsolete local packs.

Without this patch I got the following behaviour:

After changing git-repack, objects/pack was empty, as expected.
