* The git-pack-redundant(1) command can be used to remove redundant pack files. | ||
The subcommand is unusably slow and the reason why nobody reports it as a | ||
performance bug is suspected to be the absense of users. We have nominated | ||
the command for removal and have started to emit a user-visible warning in | ||
c3b58472be (pack-redundant: gauge the usage before proposing its removal, | ||
2020-08-25) whenever the command is executed. | ||
+ | ||
So far there was a single complaint about somebody still using the command, but | ||
that complaint did not cause us to reverse course. On the contrary, we have | ||
doubled down on the deprecation and starting with 4406522b76 (pack-redundant: | ||
escalate deprecation warning to an error, 2023-03-23), the command dies unless | ||
the user passes the `--i-still-use-this` option. | ||
+ | ||
There have not been any subsequent complaints, so this command will finally be | ||
removed. | ||
