I found a big improvement with public-inbox just using bitmaps; but have never tried the hash cache. > The reason it defaults to off is for on-disk compatibility with JGit. Right. Our documentation seems to indicate JGit just warns (but doesn't fall over), so maybe that can be considered separately. I've never used JGit myself; and was satisfied enough with bitmaps alone that I never tried the hash-cache. > But I have very little experience running without the hash-cache on.

As far as serving clones and fetches, public-inbox-init has always created bare repos with bitmaps enabled, but without the hash-cache for compatibility concerns. That's a lot of fetches and clones over the years. > > +test_expect_success 'incremental repack does not complain' ' > > + git -C bare.git repack -q 2>repack.err && > > + ! test -s repack.err > > +' > > This last line could use "test_must_be_empty". Thanks for the review! ---------8<----------- Subject: [PATCH] repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos A typical use case for bare repos is for serving clones and fetches to clients. Enable bitmaps by default on bare repos to make it easier for admins to host git repos in a performant way.
