2006-10-22Merge branch 'np/pack'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
* np/pack: add the capability for index-pack to read from a stream index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key. git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset pack-objects: document --delta-base-offset option allow delta data reuse even if base object is a preferred base zap a debug remnant let the GIT native protocol use offsets to delta base when possible make pack data reuse compatible with both delta types make git-pack-objects able to create deltas with offset to base teach git-index-pack about deltas with offset to base teach git-unpack-objects about deltas with offset to base introduce delta objects with offset to base
2006-10-13git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffsetLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset` option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3. We will make it default to true sometime in the future, but not for a while. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-28http/ftp: optionally ask curl to not use EPSV commandLibravatar Sasha Khapyorsky1-0/+6
If http.noEPSV config variable is defined and true, or if GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV environment variable is defined, disable using of EPSV ftp command (PASV will be used instead). This is helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which does not support EPSV mode. Signed-off-by: Sasha Khapyorsky <sashak@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-24Merge branch 'lt/objformat'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
* lt/objformat: sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
2006-07-23pack-objects: check pack.window for default window sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-23tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config optionLibravatar Willy Tarreau1-0/+11
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means world read-write.

2006-07-13sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding. The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length information, which is somewhat wasteful. A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to copy the payload straight to packfiles. Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for now new object files are created with the traditional format. core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

2006-07-03Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.Libravatar Joachim B Haga1-0/+6
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster. The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9] which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.

2006-05-17Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+8
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>" whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains the following information: oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF> where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>. An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-04-24Document the configuration fileLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+181
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format. It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1). Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
