[PATCH 2/2] index-pack: reduce memory usage when the pack has large blobs

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

 



This command unpacks every non-delta objects in order to:

1. calculate sha-1
2. do byte-to-byte sha-1 collision test if we happen to have objects
   with the same sha-1
3. validate object content in strict mode

All this requires the entire object to stay in memory, a bad news for
giant blobs. This patch lowers memory consumption by not saving the
object in memory whenever possible, calculating SHA-1 while unpacking
the object.

This patch assumes that the collision test is rarely needed. The
collision test will be done later in second pass if necessary, which
puts the entire object back to memory again (We could even do the
collision test without putting the entire object back in memory, by
comparing as we unpack it).

In strict mode, it always keeps non-blob objects in memory for
validation (blobs do not need data validation). "--strict --verify"
also keeps blobs in memory.

 Does anybody do "git index-pack --stdin < .git/objects/pack/something"?
