Slightly more disc space on the server, yes. One idea was to use $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, though, which means that we could still use a shared object storage. We would only need to store the refs separately. The other possibility is to tell Git to not advertise refs outside the currently selected namespace. I am not entirely sure whether that is a good idea and whether it would be accepted upstream, though. > I may be wrong, but this seems like quite a large/important problem/flaw to > me. > > I feel like this may have been discussed before—Is there a thread I've > missed on the ML which covers this discussion? > No, this hasn't been discussed in public yet. > Thanks
