Version 1.5.6.5


Looks weird

Is it the intended behaviour?

This is the current (intended) behavior.  We have never pruned an

object from a repository unless the object is packed in the shared

alternate repository.  See git-prune-packed's man page.  The prune

logic for loose objects only deletes objects which are in packs,

and it doesn't care where that pack came from.
