Operating Systems Solaris correct usage of find's -prune option Post 302311674 by pludi on Wednesday 29th of April 2009 09:38:04 AM

Don't worry, I think everyone stumbles on this "bug" sooner or later.
-prune tells find to only look at the directories specified at the command line, in your case your current working directory, and nothing else. If you run it as
Code:
# find ./* -type -d -prune

it will check the contents of the current directory (and nothing below)

NAME
git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database SYNOPSIS
git prune [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...] DESCRIPTION
Note In most cases, users should run git gc, which calls git prune. See the section "NOTES", below. This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs available in refs/, optionally with additional set of objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by running git prune-packed. Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is not desired, see git-repack(1). OPTIONS
-n, --dry-run Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove. -v, --verbose Report all removed objects. -- Do not interpret any more arguments as options. --expire <time> Only expire loose objects older than <time>. <head>... In addition to objects reachable from any of our references, keep objects reachable from listed <head>s. EXAMPLE
To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that borrows from your repository via its .git/objects/info/alternates: $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all) NOTES
In most cases, users will not need to call git prune directly, but should instead call git gc, which handles pruning along with many other housekeeping tasks. For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see git fsck's --unreachable option. SEE ALSO
