Yeah, this whole conversation has made me very nervous about using
reachability. Fundamentally, this isn't about reachability at all. The
operation is as simple as telling pack-objects a list of packs that you
do and don't want objects from, making a new pack out of that, and then
optionally dropping the packs that you rolled up.
So, I think that teaching pack-objects a way to understand a caller that
says "include objects from packs X, Y, and Z, but not if they appear in
packs A, B, or C, and also pull in any loose objects" is the best way
forward here.
Of course, you're going to be dragging along unreachable objects until
you decide to do a full repack, but I'm OK with that since we wouldn't
expect anybody to be solely relying on geometric repacks without
occasionally running 'git repack -ad'.
Junio: I don't think that you have picked this up yet, but please avoid
doing so for now, and I'll send a new series that goes in the direction
I outlined above.
Thanks,
Taylor
