Pack v4 is supposed to tackle this delta chain thing, but its future is a bit uncertain (you can give a hand btw). If you often do "git blame", you might consider unpack most accessed objects (make it part of "blame" process), which would function exactly like a cache with no extra code. The downside is git-gc --auto is more likely to kick in because of too many loose objects and pack everything up again. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
