| * | objects to be pruned immediately don't have to be loosenedNicolas Pitre2009-01-011-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When there is no grace period before pruning unreferenced objects, it is pointless to push those objects in their loose form just to delete them right away. Also be more explicit about the possibility of using "now" in the gc.pruneexpire config variable (needed for the above behavior to happen).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "matching refs" semantics works only on matching branches these days. Instead of using "heads" which traditionally has been used more or less interchangeably with "refs", say "branch" explicitly here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment in parentheses is wrong, as one has to leave out both the colon and <dst>. This situation is covered by the section a few lines down: A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source repository to the destination repository under the same name. So, just remove the parentheses. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
