This is a good idea! The fact that these are specified by 'git repack' and not 'git pack-objects' makes intervention here necessary. However, I don't think that all of these will apply properly. > Note: I left out `repack.packKeptObjects` intentionally as I dont think > its relevant to midx repack use case.

In the scenario where there is a .keep pack _and_ it is small enough to get picked up by the batch size, the 'git multi-pack-index repack' command will create a new pack containing its objects (and objects from other packs) but the 'git multi-pack-index expire' command will not delete the pack with .keep. The good news is that after the first repack, the objects in the pack are in a newer pack, so the multi-pack-index will not repack those objects from that pack multiple times. However, this may be unintended behavior for the user that specified the .keep pack. I think the right thing to do to respect "repack.packKeptObjects = false" is to ignore the packs when selecting the batch of objects. Instead of asking you to do this, I added a patch below. Please take it into your v2, if you don't mind. > Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-626%2Fsluongng%2Fsluongngoc%2Fmidx-config-v1 > Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-626/sluongng/sluongngoc/midx-config-v1 > Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/626 > > midx.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/midx.c b/midx.c > index 9a61d3b37d9..88f16594268 100644 > --- a/midx.c > +++ b/midx.c > @@ -1361,6 +1361,10 @@ static int fill_included_packs_batch(struct repository *r, > return 0; > } > > +static int delta_base_offset = 1; > +static int write_bitmaps = -1; > +static int use_delta_islands; > + Why not make these local to the midx_repack method? > int midx_repack(struct repository *r, const char *object_dir, size_t batch_size, unsigned flags) > { > int result = 0; > @@ -1381,12 +1385,25 @@ int midx_repack(struct repository *r, const char *object_dir, size_t batch_size, > } else if (fill_included_packs_all(m, include_pack)) > goto cleanup; > > + git_config_get_bool("repack.usedeltabaseoffset", &delta_base_offset); > + git_config_get_bool("repack.writebitmaps", &write_bitmaps); > + git_config_get_bool("repack.usedeltaislands", &use_delta_islands); > + It looks like you have some spacing issues here.

Unless --batch-size=0 and there are no .keep packs (with the patch below) I'm not sure we _can_ write bitmap indexes here. The pack-file is not necessarily closed under reachability. Or, will supplying these arguments to 'git pack-objects' actually do that closure? I would be happy to special-case these options to the "--batch-size=0" situation and otherwise ignore them. This then gets into enough complication that we should update the documentation as in the patch below. At minimum, it would be good to have some tests that exercise these code paths so we know they are behaving correctly.

When false, this option says that the pack-files with an associated ".keep" file should not be repacked. This config value is "false" by default. There are two cases for selecting a batch of objects. The first is the case where the input batch-size is zero, which specifies "repack everything". The second is with a non-zero batch size, which selects pack-files using a greedy selection criteria. Both of these cases are updated and tested.
