+This gives the merge commits zero weight when talking about how many
+commits you have ahead (or behind) of the branch you are tracking. Even
+though I agree that they should carry much less weight than the "real"
+commits, because your repeated merge from the other branch does not really
+add any real value to the end result, giving them absolute zero weight
+somehow feels wrong. At least it shows that your have been _active_ on the
+branch. But I do not feel very strongly about it.

+ + t7700: demonstrate repack flaw which may loosen objects
+ unnecessarily
+ + Remove --kept-pack-only option and associated infrastructure
+ + pack-objects: only repack or loosen objects residing in "local"
+ packs
+ + git-repack.sh: don't use --kept-pack-only option to pack-objects
+ + t7700-repack: add two new tests demonstrating repacking flaws

-
-Replaced the old series with the first step to allow a smooth transition.

-to switch default some day, start the warning.
