Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] docs: clarify git-pack-refs --all will pack all refs
Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 18:10:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0d462010b798f834fef55cc7aa767f3f2a177f91.1683828635.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1501.v3.git.git.1683828635.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>
--all packs not just branch tips but anything under refs/ with the
exception of hidden refs and broken refs. Clarify this in the
documentation.
