    repack: add --keep-pack option · ed7e5fc3
    Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 提交于
    We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This
    is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc
    just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects
    run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case.
    
    A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and
    pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when
    --keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or
    --unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified.
    
    In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on
    command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is
    used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file.
    
    But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep
    packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could
    potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or
    unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either
    .keep file or --keep-pack.
