Subject: [PATCH 3/4] git-gui: remove "Compress Database" feature
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2026 21:32:04 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <65650733-1597-469f-9a2a-7358abf10b4e@app.fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <091e68fa-428d-48b0-bf7d-42b01660d6eb@app.fastmail.com>
Now that git-gui runs auto maintenance on commit and we expect that users no
longer need to manually compress the database on a regular basis, this feature
is not necessary.
Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Faust <contrib-git@wolfgangfaust•com>

This patch is more to start discussion than something I think is necessarily a
good idea: maybe there are other circumstances where this is still useful?
