From 0c16cd499dee09b7fc6dd10cb6a476e96c147ef6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Tan Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 15:27:16 +0000 Subject: gc: do not repack promisor packfiles Teach gc to stop traversal at promisor objects, and to leave promisor packfiles alone. This has the effect of only repacking non-promisor packfiles, and preserves the distinction between promisor packfiles and non-promisor packfiles.
