I was grabbing a copy of the hwmon-2.6 git tree to play with: > ~/tmp$ git-clone git://lm-sensors.org/kernel/mhoffman/hwmon-2.6.git > Initialized empty Git repository in /home/linux/tmp/hwmon-2.6/.git/ > remote: Generating pack... > remote: Done counting 496311 objects. > remote: Deltifying 496311 objects. > remote: 100% (496311/496311) done > Indexing 496311 objects... > remote: Total 496311 (delta 400999), reused 496151 (delta 400839) > 100% (496311/496311) done > Resolving 400999 deltas... > 100% (400999/400999) done > Checking 22409 files out... > 100% (22409/22409) done > ~/tmp$ ls -l hwmon-2.6/git/objects/pack > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 11912528 Jun 15 03:35 pack-d4ec0478f7530345ff466805ab4fe63efc9251df.idx > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 166721991 Jun 15 03:35 pack-d4ec0478f7530345ff466805ab4fe63efc9251df.pack Then I noticed that it's a Linux kernel... oops! Sorry for wasting the network bandwidth, but I can save myself the disk space. > ~/tmp$ rm -r hwmon-2.6/* > ~/tmp$ mv hwmon-2.6 hwmon-2.6.old > ~/tmp$ git clone --reference /usr/src/linux -n hwmon-2.6.old hwmon-2.6 > Initialized empty Git repository in /home/linux/tmp/hwmon-2.6/.git/ > remote: Generating pack... > remote: Done counting 124 objects. > remote: Deltifying 124 objects... > remote: 100% (124/124) done > Indexing 124 objects... > remote: Total 124 (delta 83), reused 97 (delta 75) > 100% (124/124) done > Resolving 83 deltas... > 100% (83/83) done > ~/tmp$ rm -rf hwmon-2.6.olf > ~/tmp$ cd hwmon-2.6 > ~/tmp/hwmon-2.6$ ls -l .git/objects/pack/ > total 168 > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 4040 Jun 15 03:44 pack-e4de475aa6c82099b4a4a8f6f410dcc316c7cf19.idx > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 161548 Jun 15 03:44 pack-e4de475aa6c82099b4a4a8f6f410dcc316c7cf19.pack Much better! But since that's only a few objects, let's repack them even tighter... > ~/tmp/hwmon-2.6$ git-repack -a -d -f --window=50 > Generating pack... > Done counting 18090 objects. > Deltifying 18090 objects... > 100% (18090/18090) done > Writing 18090 objects... > 100% (18090/18090) done > Total 18090 (delta 2465), reused 7876 (delta 0) > Pack pack-1af4ab6620f71733f17b16d69a89b6741e2c7fe3 created. > Removing unused objects 100%... > Done. > ~/tmp/hwmon-2.6$ ls -l .git/objects/pack/ > total 50620 > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 435224 Jun 15 04:00 pack-1af4ab6620f71733f17b16d69a89b6741e2c7fe3.idx > -r--r--r-- 1 linux users 51333891 Jun 15 04:00 pack-1af4ab6620f71733f17b16d69a89b6741e2c7fe3.pack Uh... what happened? It's not a full kernel clone, but it's a lot more objects than I expected. Where did all the extra objects come from? - 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
