This option specifies the minimum age of an object before it may be removed by prune. The default value is 24 hours and may be changed using gc.pruneexpire.

Here is the new version. Things I'm not sure about, any further comments/discussion? - default value for gc.pruneexpire - special value(s) for gc.pruneexpire/--expire which mean 'do not check for the age', currently it is 'off' --- builtin-prune.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin-prune.c b/builtin-prune.c index 6f0ba0d..410b3b2 100644 --- a/builtin-prune.c +++ b/builtin-prune.c @@ -5,8 +5,9 @@ #include "builtin.h" #include "reachable.h" -static const char prune_usage[] = "git-prune [-n]"; +static const char prune_usage[] = "git-prune [-n] [--expire=time]"; static int show_only; +static int prune_expire; static int prune_object(char *path, const char *filename, const unsigned char *sha1) { @@ -38,6 +39,7 @@ static int prune_dir(int i, char *path) char name[100]; unsigned char sha1[20]; int len = strlen(de->d_name); + struct stat st; switch (len) { case 2: @@ -60,6 +62,11 @@ static int prune_dir(int i, char *path) if (lookup_object(sha1)) continue; + if (prune_expire > 0 && + !stat(mkpath("%s/%s", path, de->d_name), &st) && + st.st_mtime > prune_expire) + continue; + prune_object(path, de->d_name, sha1); continue; } @@ -79,10 +86,25 @@ static void prune_object_dir(const char *path) } } +static int git_prune_config(const char *var, const char *value) +{ + if (!strcmp(var, "gc.pruneexpire")) { + if (!strcmp(value, "off")) + prune_expire = 0; + else + prune_expire = approxidate(value); + return 0; + } + return git_default_config(var, value); +} + int cmd_prune(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { int i; struct rev_info revs; + prune_expire = time(NULL)-24*60*60; + + git_config(git_prune_config); for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) { const char *arg = argv[i]; @@ -90,6 +112,13 @@ int cmd_prune(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) show_only = 1; continue; } + if (!strncmp(arg, "--expire=", 9)) { + if (!strcmp(arg+9, "off")) + prune_expire = 0; + else + prune_expire = approxidate(arg+9); + continue; + } usage(prune_usage); } -- 1.4.4.4 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
