Hi,
Every once in a while, I get the "This repository currently has approximately (some number) loose objects." popup dialog. I don't want to sound arrogant, but I find this popup along with the dialog showing after that prints the result of the compression, immensely annoying. And I've seen people mention before that they would, in some casese, rather not have to deal with the dialog[0]. [0] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1106529/how-to-skip-loose-object-popup-when-running-git-gui I get that git-gui merely wants to resolve a performance issue. But personally I'd prefer if git could just assume I always wanted to compress the database, and automatically do it without bugging me with the popups. I propose we implement the following options in git-gui: - ignore loose objects (do not show the popup), disabled by default. - automatically, silently compress the database, without prompt. Also disabled by default. Thoughts? Birger
