As a side note: you could move them into a different ref spec entirely, which is not pulled by default when someone clone's or pull's. For example, you could store them under: refs/archives/foobar Which would require a pullspec to be added before someone can gain access to these archives: git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/archives/*:refs/remotes/origin/archives/*' GitHub does something very similar with its pull requests, which are stored under a "pull" ref spec, and are not cloned by default, but can be accessed by adding the appropriate fetch attribute: +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
