Well, even with old git you can just do git repack -a -d and in your case you'll probably have to leave it running overnight, because it's going to take hours since you've clearly not ever repacked it before and as a result it's going to do lots and lots of IO (all that 7GB and then read much of it twice). But yeah, upgrading git first is probably a good idea regardless. > commit 7c0ea45be4f114d85ee35caeead8e1660699c46f > > ACPI: Ignore _BQC object when registering backlight device > > when did this go in? Pretty recently, right? Yes: [torvalds@woody linux]$ git describe 7c0ea45be4f114d85ee35caeead8e1660699c46f v2.6.25-rc5-89-g7c0ea45 so it happened after -rc5. > And that means that ACPI backlight driver is now used on machines where > it was not used before...? Somebody more into ACPI needs to judge how likely this is to be an issue..
