2007-05-24Make "git gc" pack all refs by defaultLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
I've taught myself to use "git gc" instead of doing the repack explicitly, but it doesn't actually do what I think it should do. We've had packed refs for a long time now, and I think it just makes sense to pack normal branches too. So I end up having to do git pack-refs --all --prune in order to get a nice git repo that doesn't have any unnecessary files. So why not just do that in "git gc"? It's not as if there really is any downside to packing branches, even if they end up changing later. Quite often they don't, and even if they do, so what? Also, make the default for refs packing just be an unambiguous "do it", rather than "do it by default only for non-bare repositories". If you want that behaviour, you can always just add a [gc] packrefs = notbare in your ~/.gitconfig file, but I don't actually see why bare would be any different (except for the broken reason that http-fetching used to be totally broken, and not doing it just meant that it didn't even get fixed in a timely manner!). So here's a trivial patch to make "git gc" do a better job. Hmm? Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-10Add --aggressive option to 'git gc'Libravatar Theodore Tso1-2/+30
This option causes 'git gc' to more aggressively optimize the repository at the cost of taking much more wall clock and CPU time. Today this option causes git-pack-objects to use --no-use-delta option, and it allows the --window parameter to be set via the gc.aggressiveWindow configuration parameter.
