We have run into two major problems with git on kernel.org. We have
discussed workarounds, but I believe they are generally major problems
which will affect other sites, and really need to be fixed upstream.
1) git receive-pack doesn't run git gc --auto.
This cause repositories which people thought were being autopacked to
not be so. This can be done via a hook, but that is way too painful for
people to do -- in fact, it's hard enough just to get people to enable
the post-update hook for http fetching.
1b) as per the above, a way to make "git update-server-info" at
post-update time a configurable option rather than needing to be done
via the hook would be very nice, since a configuration option can be
enabled sitewide.
2) When pushing to a repository, it apparently doesn't honor new objects
in alternate repositories. This causes massive unnecessary duplication.
I believe these are major issues that need to be addressed. If we are
*mistaken* on these, then we would appreciate being corrected.
Thanks,
