How about forking off a pack-objects and handing it one file name at a time over a pipe. When I hand it the next file name I delete the first file.

This model would let me hand it all 1M files. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sat Aug 05 01:42:41 2006
