[PATCHv2 1/2] Support multiple virtual repositories with a single object store and refs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Given many repositories with copies of the same objects (such as
branches of the same source), sharing a common object store will avoid
duplication.  Alternates provide a single baseline, but don't handle
ongoing activity in the various repositories.  Git safely handles
concurrent accesses to the same object store across repositories, but
operations such as gc need to know about all of the refs.

This change adds support in upload-pack and receive-pack to simulate
multiple virtual repositories within the object store and references of
a single underlying repository.  The refs and heads of the virtual
repositories get stored in the underlying repository using prefixed
names specified by the --ref-prefix and --head options; for instance,
--ref-prefix=repo1/ will use refs/repo1/heads/* and refs/repo1/tags/*.
upload-pack and receive-pack will not expose any references that do not
match the specified prefix.

These options implement the underlying mechanism for virtual
repositories; the higher-level protocol handler (such as http-backend or
a custom server) can pass these options when invoking upload-pack or
receive-pack, providing values based on components of the repository
path.  For a simple local test, git-remote-ext works:

git clone ext::'git %s --ref-prefix=prefix/ --head=prefix-HEAD /tmp/prefixed.git'
