It's still an expensive test time-wise, but repeated gzip compression on zeros does still help; to that end, here's the pieces to add a testcase while only being <9KiB. t5005-archive-hugefile.sh: ... mkdir t zcat t5005-barerepo-64gb-obj.tar.gz.gz | tar xzf - -C t GIT_DIR=t git archive HEAD | head -c 10000 | tar tvf - 2>/dev/null ... Test repo attached, it's only 8KiB. Test repo can be recreated with: truncate -s 64g bigfile git add bigfile # takes 10 mins git commit -q -m foo # takes another 10 minutes tar cf - -C .git . |gzip -9 --no-name |gzip -9f --no-name >barerepo.tar.gz.gz -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Trustee & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 -- 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
