The latter two were always bugging me since they should better |

be coupled with EVCS_OFFLINE: |

IMHO, *whenever* the repository is modified (by fetching new data) |
| 13 |
it should afterwards be repacked and pruned to save space if possible. |
| 14 |
However, repacking and pruning of an unchanged repository |
| 15 |
(in particular if EVCS_OFFLINE=1) makes no sense but only costs |
| 16 |
unnecessary time and - even worse - touches/modifies files which is |
| 17 |
bad for COW filesystems or other sorts of backups (which are |
| 18 |
useful for the git sources directory in case upstream makes a |
| 19 |
serious rebase). |
