[PATCH 1/2] pack-refs: remove all empty directories under $GIT_DIR/refs

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

 



Deleting refs does not remove parent directories if they are empty.
Empty directories add extra overhead to startup time of most of git
commands because they have to traverse $GIT_DIR/refs.

Some directories are kept by this patch even if they are empty (refs,
refs/heads and refs/tags). The first one is one of git repository
signature. The rest is created by init-db, one may expect them to always
be there.

 v2, no more refs code change.

 Part of the reason I do not want to update delete_ref() is because it
 won't remove empty directories in existing repositories.
