I dislike the popup, too. But I want total control over my repository: No automatic compression behind my back, in particular, when that expires reflogs, and git-gui does that. > 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.
