[PATCH 03/11] repo-settings: pack.useSparse=true

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

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a repo is large, then it probably has a very large working
directory. In this case, a typical developer's edits usually impact
many fewer paths than the full path set. The sparse treewalk
algorithm is optimized for this case, speeding up 'git push' calls.

Use pack.useSparse=true when core.size=large.
