2014-10-19repack: pack objects mentioned by the indexLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+13
When we pack all objects, we use only the objects reachable from references and reflogs. This misses any objects which are reachable from the index, but not yet referenced. By itself this isn't a big deal; the objects can remain loose until they are actually used in a commit. However, it does create a problem when we drop packed but unreachable objects. We try to optimize out the writing of objects that we will immediately prune, which means we must follow the same rules as prune in determining what is reachable. And prune uses the index for this purpose. This is rather uncommon in practice, as objects in the index would not usually have been packed in the first place. But it could happen in a sequence like: 1. You make a commit on a branch that references blob X. 2. You repack, moving X into the pack. 3. You delete the branch (and its reflog), so that X is unreferenced. 4. You "git add" blob X so that it is now referenced only by the index. 5. You repack again with git-gc. The pack-objects we invoke will see that X is neither referenced nor recent and not bother loosening it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-11gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately prunedLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+14
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".

2010-04-17more war on "sleep" in testsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+9
Two more tests that sleep only to waste tick can be converted to use test_tick and take expiry parameters relative to $test_tick. The basic idea is to replace "sleep 1" with "test_tick" to cause the "time" to pass. These tests are interested in expiring things with "now" as the timestamp, soo use a timestamp relative to $test_tick to give them more stability and reproducibility.

2009-01-28Windows: Fix intermittent failures of t7701Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-7/+7
The last test case checks whether unpacked objects receive the time stamp of the pack file. Due to different implementations of stat(2) by MSYS and our version in compat/mingw.c, the test fails in about half of the test runs. Note the following facts: - The test uses perl's -M operator to compare the time stamps. Since we depend on MSYS perl, the result of this operator is based on MSYS's implementation of the stat(2) call. - NTFS on Windows records fractional seconds. - The MSYS implementation of stat(2) *rounds* fractional seconds to full seconds instead of truncating them. This becomes obvious by comparing the modification times reported by 'ls --full-time $f' and 'stat $f' for various files $f. - Our implementation of stat(2) in compat/mingw.c *truncates* to full seconds. The consequence of this is that - add_packed_git() picks up a truncated whole second modification time from the pack file time stamp, which is then used for the loose objects, while the pack file retains its time stamp in fractional seconds; - but the test case compared the pack file's rounded modification times to the loose objects' truncated modification times. And half of the time the rounded modification time is not the same as its truncated modification time. The fix is that we replace perl by 'test-chmtime -v +0', which prints the truncated whole-second mtime without modifying it.

* bc/maint-keep-pack: repack: only unpack-unreachable if we are deleting redundant packs
2008-11-14repack: only unpack-unreachable if we are deleting redundant packsLibravatar Brandon Casey1-3/+15
The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary. Update tests in t7701.

2008-09-30tests: grep portability fixesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
We try to avoid using the "-q" or "-e" options, as they are largely useless, as explained in aadbe44f. There is one exception for "-e" here, which is in t7701 used to produce an "or" of patterns. This can be rewritten as an egrep pattern. This patch also removes use of "grep -F" in favor of the more widely available "fgrep".

2008-05-11repack: modify behavior of -A option to leave unreferenced objects unpackedLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+47
The previous behavior of the -A option was to retain any previously packed objects which had become unreferenced, and place them into the newly created pack file. Since git-gc, when run automatically with the --auto option, calls repack with the -A option, this had the effect of retaining unreferenced packed objects indefinitely. To avoid this scenario, the user was required to run git-gc with the little known --prune option or to manually run repack with the -a option. This patch changes the behavior of the -A option so that unreferenced objects that exist in any pack file being replaced, will be unpacked into the repository. The unreferenced loose objects can then be garbage collected by git-gc (i.e. git-prune) based on the gc.pruneExpire setting. Also add new tests for checking whether unreferenced objects which were previously packed are properly left in the repository unpacked after repacking.
