Moreover, after looking through the loose objects, I've found several commits that are definitely reachable from master and now from your tree as well. E.g. objects/ea/ff8079d4f1016a12e34ab323737314f24127dd is one of those - it's a commit and it's both in mainline *and* happens to be tip of master. No questions about being unreachable and AFAICS no reasons whatsoever to leave it as a loose object... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
