Hi!
I recently noticed GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY in the git manpage and wanted
to play with it. But it looks as if it doesn't work, the
documentation is wrong/insufficient or I can't properly read the
documentation. So let me figure out, which one it is.
$ set | grep GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/home/joern/.git
$ ls -l /home/joern/.git
total 288
drwxrwxr-x 2 joern joern 4096 Apr 16 01:22 0f
[...]
$ git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git foo
[ stored >200M of data under foo/.git/objects ]
The above looks as if new objects are not stored under
/home/joern/.git, as specified by GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY. The manpage
tells me:
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
If the object storage directory is specified via this environ-
ment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
otherwise the default $GIT_DIR/objects directory is used.
And I would interpret this as "store all new objects under
/home/joern/.git". So far, things don't seem to imply me being too
stupid. What went wrong?
