Thanks for the explanation. Sounds compelling to me. (The best workaround I can imagine is to hardlink the packs by hand.) Maybe ‘fetch-pack --all’ could learn a --local option to imitate clone --local, and ‘fetch --local’ would run ‘fetch-pack --local --all’ no matter what refs it was asked to fetch. That would avoid questions about which packs to grab. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
