Hi, I have garbage collection disabled globally with gc.auto = 0. Today while pushing a branch remotely, I saw a message "Auto packing the repository for optimum performance." which I've never noticed before. Searching for that phrase shows me that common knowledge is that 'gc.auto = 0' should disable such from occurring. Looking at .git/objects/pack/ in the repository show a new pack file created at the time. However, all loose objects still exist in the repository, which is what I want, so it is good that no apparent data loss occurred.
Here is the relevant command and its output: $ git push origin next Counting objects: 56, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (9/9), done. Writing objects: 100% (9/9), 895 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 9 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0) Auto packing the repository for optimum performance. To ssh://g...@my.server.com/my_project 3560275..f508080 next -> next $ git config gc.auto 0 $ git config gc.autopacklimit 0 $ git --version git version 1.8.5.3 So my question is, should gc.auto = 0 disable auto-packing from occurring on git push and other non-gc commands?
