2007-01-21git-gc: do not run git-prune by default.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+16
git-prune is not safe when run uncontrolled in parallel while other git operations are creating new objects. To avoid mistakes, do not run git-prune by default from git-gc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-27Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+64
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as: * pack-refs --prune * reflog expire * repack -a -d * prune * rerere gc So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.
