Subject: git-gc: by default use safer "-A" option to repack when not --prune'ing
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~381
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=edb0e04e819c7cde709d10e03f398d12692259f7;p=git.git

git-gc: by default use safer "-A" option to repack when not --prune'ing

This makes use of repack's new "-A" option which does not drop packed
unreachable objects. This makes git-gc safe to call at any time,
particularly when a repository is referenced as an alternate by
another repository.

git-gc --prune will use the "-a" option to repack instead of "-A", so
that packed unreachable objects will be removed.
