[PATCH v4 0/3] repack -ad: fix after fetch --prune in a shallow repository

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

 



Under certain circumstances, commits that were reachable can be made
unreachable, e.g. via git fetch --prune. These commits might have been
packed already, in which case git repack -adlf will just drop them without
giving them the usual grace period before an eventual git prune (via git gc)
prunes them.

This is a problem when the shallow file still lists them, which is the
reason why git prune edits that file. And with the proposed changes, git
repack -ad will now do the same.

Reported by Alejandro Pauly.

Changes since v3:

 * Made the regression test less confusing with regards to tags that might
   need to be dereferenced.
 * Introduced new global constants PRUNE_SHOW_ONLY and PRUNE_QUICK instead
   of extending the signature of prune_shallow() with Boolean parameters.
 * While at it, renamed the file-local constant from QUICK_PRUNE to QUICK.
 * Replaced the lookup_commit() && parse_commit() cadence (that wants to
   test for the existence of a commit) to has_object_file(), for ease of
   readability, and also to make it more obvious how to add a call to 
   is_promisor_object() if we ever figure out that that would be necessary.

Changes since v2:

 * Fixed a typo in the last commit message.
 * Added an explanation to the last commit message why we do not simply skip
   non-existing shallow commits at fetch time.
 * Introduced a new, "quick prune" mode where prune_shallow() does not try
   to drop unreachable commits, but only non-existing ones.
 * Rebased to current master because there were too many merge conflicts for
   my liking otherwise.

Changes since v1:

 * Also trigger prune_shallow() when --unpack-unreachable=<approxidate> was
   passed to git repack.
 * No need to trigger prune_shallow() when git repack was called with -k.
