[PATCH] Teach git-gc to only repack local (not borrowed) objects.

Shawn O. Pearce· Dec 27, 2006, 23:47 UTC · lore

This feature was suggested by Martin Waitz on the git mailing list and is actually the correct thing to do. If the current repository is borrowing objects from repository then this repository is not usually considered to be maintaining the objects which are available through that other repository's object database. We really should only repack objects which are stored directly in this repository, so supply -l to git-repack.
