[PATCH v2 4/5] repo-settings: create feature.manyFiles setting

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

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The feature.manyFiles setting is suitable for repos with many
files in the working directory. By setting index.version=4 and
core.untrackedCache=true, commands such as 'git status' should
improve.

While adding this setting, modify the index version precedence
tests to check how this setting overrides the default for
index.version is unset.
