So is CentOS. James wrote about the early story of GitBlit on the mailing list some years back I wrote a couple of blog posts about GitBlit for the 1.0 release Extra pro-tip: "git fetch -p". It stands for prune. Will remove tracking refs from your clone that no longer exist in the remote but it will NOT remove any of your local branches. It's a useful shortcut for cleaning up your clone so you can GC to reclaim space. Listen to the episode on YouTube
