[PATCH v3 2/5] repo-settings: add feature.manyCommits setting

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

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When a repo has many commits, it is helpful to write and read the
commit-graph file. Future changes to Git may include new config
settings that are beneficial in this scenario.

Create the 'feature.manyCommits' config setting that changes the
default values of 'core.commitGraph' and 'gc.writeCommitGraph' to
true.
