Simple question, I'm trying to run git gc on a machine with a quota. Pre-gc, I'm at about 18GB of usage, almost all of which is my cloned git repository. My disk limit is 25GB. During the git gc operation, enough temporary files are written to disk to hit my limit and thus cause the git gc operation to fail. I can delete the .git/object...
We are using Git with a central server, and our code needs to include a version number in a file. The way this is currently done is like this: A new developer does a "git clone" In his local copy, he edits .git/hooks/pre-commit to call version.sh version.sh (which is included in the project root) takes a version number from "git desc...

Randal Schwartz says that he uses Git's SVN import/export feature when he has to interact with SVN repositories. He pulls the project from SVN, does all his local edits/saves with Git then once done pushes the changes back to the SVN repository. Is this really a worthwhile process for daily use with a SVN repositories rather than just us...
I have a handful of small Git repositories I would like to host remotely. They're all private projects, most of them in Java. Codaset, Codebasehq, Unfuddle, Trac, Redmine.. There seems to be an abundance of solutions out there. They're all packed with features and useful functionality. Putting aside pricing and the glossy layouts, what...
I currently use subversion to track my configuration changes of Emacs and to sync my '.emacs.d' directory to different platforms. A lot of packages like Ido, Muse or Org-mode are part of Emacs distributions which come with Debian or Carbon Emacs (osx). But other packages which I'm also using are not part of those distributions so I have...

I deleted a bunch of files / directories from a git repository using rm, the Finder, etc. I'm looking for a git command that'll record these to the index as marked for removal. (As if I had called git rm on them.) I understand git add -u will do this, along with a bunch of other things. I'd like my command to exclusively handle removal...

I get an unexpected appearance of "dev/null" in my git status output after interactively adding a patch for a file that was renamed. I'm wondering if this is expected and there is some good reason for this behavior, or if this could be a bug. Below is a simple illustration of how to reproduce this. In my real-world scenario, it's a bit ...
I maintain two different git repos that need to share some files, and I'd like the commits in one repo to show up in the other. What's a good way to do that for ongoing maintenance?

I have a bunch of unannotated tags in the repository and I want to work out which commit they point to. Is there a command that that will just list the tags and their commit SHAs? Checking out the tag and looking at the HEAD seems a bit too labourious to me. Edit: I realised after I went through the responses that what I actually wanted...
