git receive-pack deletes refs one at a time?

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

 



I have a situation where I need to delete 100k+ refs on 15+ separate hosts/disks. This setup is using Gerrit replication, so I can trigger it all on one host and it will push the deletes to the rest (all running git-daemon v2.18.0 with receive-pack enabled). All the refs being deleted on the receiving ends are packed.

What I see is the packed-refs file getting locked/updated over and over for each ref. I had assumed it would do something more like 'update-ref --stdin' and do a bulk removal of refs. Am I seeing the correct behavior? If yes, is there a specific reason it works this way or is "bulk delete through push" just a feature that hasn't been implemented yet?

Thanks,
Nasser
