Personally I would prefer that git-gui (silently) performs the check and compression for me when I open it on a repo. But I can totally see why some (propbably most) git users would not want that. So I don't really mind if that part of my proposal gets denied. > What reasons do people have to have this feature in git-gui, > instead of running cron jobs? I can't really think of a reason. But then again I can't really think of a reason why users would want the "loose objects check" in git-gui in the first place. Especially not enabled by default, popping up when the user opens git-gui. A button (manual action) to perform this check and (if necessary) perform the compression would be better IMO. Birger
