From c4d25228ebb22a60f1fcb267e19c503bab708cdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2018 15:39:33 -0400 Subject: config: create core.multiPackIndex setting The core.multiPackIndex config setting controls the multi-pack- index (MIDX) feature. If false, the setting will disable all reads from the multi-pack-index file. Read this config setting in the new prepare_multi_pack_index_one() which is called during prepare_packed_git(). This check is run once per repository. Add comparison commands in t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to check typical Git behavior remains the same as the config setting is turned on and off. This currently includes 'git rev-list' and 'git log' commands to trigger several object database reads. Currently, these would only catch an error in the prepare_multi_pack_index_one(), but with later commits will catch errors in object lookups, abbreviations, and approximate object counts.
