| |
In order to apply a kernel patch diff'd against an older kernel, I ran
git checkout -b tmp v2.6.23 git-am --signoff --utf8 /g/tmp/mbox
The patch applied successfully, but each time I run this, it starts an automated 'git gc' run... even if there is nothing useful to gc:

IMO there is a broken hueristic in there somewhere... I regularly run 'git gc' on my repos...
