Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Only repack active packs by skipping over kept packs.

From: Shawn Pearce <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2006 04:37:54 -0500

During `git repack -a -d` only repack objects which are loose or
which reside in an active (a non-kept) pack.  This allows the user
to keep large packs as-is without continuous repacking and can be
very helpful on large repositories.  It should also help us resolve
a race condition between `git repack -a -d` and the new pack store
functionality in `git-receive-pack`.

Kept packs are those which have a corresponding .keep file in
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack.  That is pack-X.pack will be kept
(not repacked and not deleted) if pack-X.keep exists in the same
directory when `git repack -a -d` starts.

Currently this feature is not documented and there is no user
interface to keep an existing pack.
