* gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately prunedJeff King2012-04-111-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is exactly at that directory. Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for its temporary packs. This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe. Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

* | repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/objectJan Krüger2010-09-271-2/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * git repack: keep commits hidden by a graftJohannes Schindelin2009-07-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily remove the graft and end up with a broken repository. So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents. As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted parents.

* | Make repack less likely to corrupt repositoryJunio C Hamano2009-02-111-20/+67
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms refuse to rename a file that is open. When repacking an already packed repository without adding any new object, the resulting pack will contain the same set of objects as an existing pack, and on such platforms, a newly created packfile cannot replace the existing one. The logic detected this issue but did not try hard enough to recover from it. Especially because the files that needs renaming come in pairs, there potentially are different failure modes that one can be renamed but the others cannot. Asking manual recovery to end users were error prone. This patch tries to make it more robust by first making sure all the existing files that need to be renamed have been renamed before continuing, and attempts to roll back if some failed to rename. This is based on an initial patch by Robin Rosenberg. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However it did so in a naive and inn efficient way by making packs about to be deleted inaccessible and feeding their content through 'git unpack-objects'. While this works, there are major flaws with this approach: - It is unacceptably sloooooooooooooow. In the Linux kernel repository with no actual unreachable objects, doing 'git repack -A -d' before: real 2m33.220s user 2m21.675s sys 0m3.510s And with this change: real 0m36.849s user 0m24.365s sys 0m1.950s For reference, here's the timing for 'git repack -a -d': real 0m35.816s user 0m22.571s sys 0m2.011s This is explained by the fact that 'git unpack-objects' was used to unpack _every_ objects even if (almost) 100% of them were thrown away. - There is a black out period. Between the removal of the .idx file for the redundant pack and the completion of its unpacking, the unreachable objects become completely unaccessible. This is not a big issue as we're talking about unreachable objects, but some consistency is always good. - There is no way to easily set a sensible mtime for the newly created unreachable loose objects. So, while having a command called "pack-objects" to perform object unpacking looks really odd, this is probably the best compromize to be able to solve the above issues in an efficient way.

| * repack: modify behavior of -A option to leave unreferenced objects unpackedBrandon Casey2008-05-111-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

It happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test" is not a builtin.

* git-repack: avoid redirecting stderr into git-pack-objectsJunio C Hamano2006-07-121-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | We are trying to catch error condition of git-rev-list and cause the downstream pack-objects to barf, but if you run rev-list with anything that mucks with its stderr (such as GIT_TRACE), any stderr output would cause the pipeline to fail.

* git-repack: Be careful when updating the same pack as an existing one.Junio C Hamano2006-06-251-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a clone, packfiles are read-only by default and "mv" to replace the pack with a new one goes interactive, asking if the user wants to replace it. If one is successfully moved and the other is not, the pack and its idx would become out-of-sync and corrupts the repository. Recovering is straightforward -- it is just the matter of finding the remaining .tmp-pack-* and make sure they are both moved -- but we should be extra careful not to do something so alarming to the users.
