* nd/gc-lock-against-each-other: gc: remove gc.pid file at end of execution
2013-10-18gc: remove gc.pid file at end of executionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+24
This file isn't really harmful, but isn't useful either, and can create minor annoyance for the user: * It's confusing, as the presence of a *.pid file often implies that a process is currently running. A user running "ls .git/" and finding this file may incorrectly guess that a "git gc" is currently running. * Leaving this file means that a "git gc" in an already gc-ed repo is no-longer a no-op. A user running "git gc" in a set of repositories, and then synchronizing this set (e.g. rsync -av, unison, ...) will see all the gc.pid files as changed, which creates useless noise. This patch unlinks the file after the garbage collection is done, so that gc.pid is actually present only during execution. Future versions of Git may want to use the information left in the gc.pid file (e.g. for policies like "don't attempt to run a gc if one has already been ran less than X hours ago"). If so, this patch can safely be reverted. For now, let's not bother the users.

2013-08-09gc: reject if another gc is running, unless --force is givenLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+67
This may happen when `git gc --auto` is run automatically, then the user, to avoid wait time, switches to a new terminal, keeps working and `git gc --auto` is started again because the first gc instance has not clean up the repository. This patch tries to avoid multiple gc running, especially in --auto mode. In the worst case, gc may be delayed 12 hours if a daemon reuses the pid stored in gc.pid. kill(pid, 0) support is added to MinGW port so it should work on Windows too.

2013-08-05Replace deprecated OPT_BOOLEAN by OPT_BOOLLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+2
This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN, 2011-09-27). All occurrences of the respective variables have been reviewed and none of them relied on the counting up mechanism, but all of them were using the variable as a true boolean. This patch does not change semantics of any command intentionally. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-04-18gc: use argv-array for sub-commandsLibravatar Jeff King1-45/+33
git-gc executes many sub-commands. The argument list for some of these is constant, but for others we add more arguments at runtime. The latter is implemented by allocating a constant extra number of NULLs, and either using a custom append function, or just referencing unused slots by number. As of commit 7e52f56, which added two new arguments, it is possible to exceed the constant number of slots for "repack" by running "git gc --aggressive", causing "git gc" to die. This patch converts all of the static argv lists to use argv-array. In addition to fixing the overflow caused by 7e52f56, it has a few advantages: 1. We can drop the custom append function (which, incidentally, had an off-by-one error exacerbating the static limit). 2. We can drop the ugly magic numbers used when adding arguments to "prune". 3. Adding further arguments will be easier; you can just add new "push" calls without worrying about increasing any static limits.

2012-04-11gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately prunedLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+15
When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack -Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git prune". Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case, it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step entirely for these objects. This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration information and avoid writing these objects out. It also teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to pack-objects) so that this optimization happens automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

2010-10-22gc -h: show usage even with broken configurationLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
Given a request for command-line usage information rather than some more substantial action, the only friendly thing to do is to report the usage information as soon as possible and exit. Without this change, as "git gc" glances over the repository, it can be distracted by the desire to report a malformed configuration file.

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+255
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
