Thank you. Unfortunately, the objects I was planning to remove by that gc are still there, presumably because they are in the reflog and/or packed.

Please, run the following three commands on the Spacewalk git repo:

git reflog expire --expire-unreachable='2 hours' --all
git repack -A
git prune

These are steps that I've verified on my local checkout and they should achieve the goal.

Thanks,

Jan Pazdziora

Ouch, I should have previewed -- presumably one newline character is not enough. The commands are

git reflog expire --expire-unreachable='2 hours' --all

git repack -A

git prune

Thank you, Jan

All done

Thank you.

While I still see the commit in question when I use git archive, git clone does not give it to me which is the most important.

Marking as resolved.
