From 2b86976bfd6e42609692d57fffaef72bd985c23a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2005 23:18:41 -0800 Subject: git-prune: never lose objects reachable from our refs. Explicit arguments to git-prune replaces, instead of extends, the list of heads used for reachability analysis by fsck-objects. By giving a subset of heads by mistake, objects reachable only from other heads can be removed, resulting in a corrupted repository. This commit stops replacing the list of heads, and makes the command line arguments to add to them instead for safety.
