I do not think "all" is what we want to say. It only affects "kept" objects, not any of the other exclusions (e.g., "-l"). > "--repack-kept-objects"? "--include-kept-objects"? Of all of them, I think --pack-kept-objects is probably the best. And I think we are hitting diminishing returns in thinking too much more on the name. :) -Peff -- 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
