2016-06-14repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with "git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom scripts people might have driving "repack -k"). With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable objects into the pack along with the already-packed unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place. We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code. However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these objects doesn't matter much because they should not be accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become referenced, but then they would get moved to a different part of the packfile during the next repack).

2016-06-14repack: add --keep-unreachable optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>", which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than "<when>", and drop any older ones. This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because "<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not drop any new objects that are about to be referenced. However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that process were to take care to update the timestamp on the object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running "repack" process. So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you do automated repacking on a large number of active repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a corrupted repository. It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable" option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through from git-repack. Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own advanced repository maintenance strategy.

This was added back in 7e52f56 (gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately pruned, 2012-04-07), but not documented at the time, since it was an internal detail between git-gc and git-repack. However, as people with complicated setups may want to effectively reimplement the steps of git-gc themselves, it is nice for us to document these interfaces.

2016-02-01transport: drop support for git-over-rsyncLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/", regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones, leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry, or complaining that the other side has two copies of the refs[1]). This latter breakage means that nobody could have successfully pulled from a moderately active repository since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01). We never made an official deprecation notice in the release notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30). And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!). Of course some people professed their love of rsync through 2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]: > Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though > everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is > deprecated." No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing something _wrong_. The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7]. Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4) lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without further deprecation warnings.

* jk/repack-pack-keep-objects: repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config var
2014-03-03repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config varLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
The git-repack command always passes `--honor-pack-keep` to pack-objects. This has traditionally been a good thing, as we do not want to duplicate those objects in a new pack, and we are not going to delete the old pack. However, when bitmaps are in use, it is important for a full repack to include all reachable objects, even if they may be duplicated in a .keep pack. Otherwise, we cannot generate the bitmaps, as the on-disk format requires the set of objects in the pack to be fully closed. Even if the repository does not generally have .keep files, a simultaneous push could cause a race condition in which a .keep file exists at the moment of a repack. The repack may try to include those objects in one of two situations: 1. The pushed .keep pack contains objects that were already in the repository (e.g., blobs due to a revert of an old commit). 2. Receive-pack updates the refs, making the objects reachable, but before it removes the .keep file, the repack runs. In either case, we may prefer to duplicate some objects in the new, full pack, and let the next repack (after the .keep file is cleaned up) take care of removing them. This patch introduces both a command-line and config option to disable the `--honor-pack-keep` option. By default, it is triggered when pack.writeBitmaps (or `--write-bitmap-index` is turned on), but specifying it explicitly can override the behavior (e.g., in cases where you prefer .keep files to bitmaps, but only when they are present). Note that this option just disables the pack-objects behavior. We still leave packs with a .keep in place, as we do not necessarily know that we have duplicated all of their objects.

2013-12-30repack: consider bitmaps when performing repacksLibravatar Vicent Marti1-1/+8
Since `pack-objects` will write a `.bitmap` file next to the `.pack` and `.idx` files, this commit teaches `git-repack` to consider the new bitmap indexes (if they exist) when performing repack operations. This implies moving old bitmap indexes out of the way if we are repacking a repository that already has them, and moving the newly generated bitmap indexes into the `objects/pack` directory, next to their corresponding packfiles. Since `git repack` is now capable of handling these `.bitmap` files, a normal `git gc` run on a repository that has `pack.writebitmaps` set to true in its config file will generate bitmap indexes as part of the garbage collection process. Alternatively, `git repack` can be called with the `-b` switch to explicitly generate bitmap indexes if you are experimenting and don't want them on all the time.

2012-02-28fsck: --no-dangling omits "dangling object" informationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The default output from "fsck" is often overwhelmed by informational message on dangling objects, especially if you do not repack often, and a real error can easily be buried. Add "--no-dangling" option to omit them, and update the user manual to demonstrate its use. Based on a patch by Clemens Buchacher, but reverted the part to change the default to --no-dangling, which is unsuitable for the first patch. The usual three-step procedure to break the backward compatibility over time needs to happen on top of this, if we were to go in that direction. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-09-27repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/objectLibravatar Jan Krüger1-1/+5
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'), git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if the user changed the zlib compression level). However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories, so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F option that replaces the current -f.

The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-6/+6
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
