OK - what I did: cd /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam rm -rf kbuild.git git clone /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git kbuild.git rename to .git to kbuild.git I had to specify both GIT_DIR and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to make git-prune-packed behave as expected. I assume this is normal when I rename the .git directory like in this case. I will se if any pullers complins (mostly/only Andrew I think).
