The ability to "...fatten [the] local repository by packing everything that
is needed by the local ref into a single new pack, including things that are
borrowed from alternates"[1] is supposed to be provided by the '-a' or '-A'
options to repack when '-l' is not used, but there is a flaw. For each
pack in the local repository without a .keep file, repack supplies a
--unpacked=<pack> argument to pack-objects.
The --unpacked option to pack-objects, with or without an argument, causes
pack-objects to ignore any object which is packed in a pack not mentioned
in an argument to --unpacked=. So, if there are local packs, and
'repack -a' is called, then any objects which reside in packs accessible
through alternates will _not_ be packed. If there are no local packs, then
no --unpacked argument will be supplied, and repack will behave as expected.
