[PATCH v2 1/2] auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks

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

 



When git gc --auto does an incremental repack of loose objects, we do
not expect to be able to write a bitmap; it is very likely that
objects in the new pack will have references to objects outside of the
pack.  So we shouldn't try to write a bitmap, because doing so will
likely issue a warning.

This warning was making its way into gc.log.  When the gc.log was
present, future auto gc runs would refuse to run.

Patch by Jeff King.
