This series is based on jc/no-update-fetch-head. This patch series contains 11patches that were going to be part of v4 of ds/maintenance [1], but the discussion has gotten really long. To help focus the conversation, I'm splitting out the portions that create and test the 'maintenance' builtin from the additional tasks (prefetch, loose-objects, incremental-repack) that can be brought in later. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.671.git.1594131695.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ As mentioned before, git gc already plays the role of maintaining Git repositories. It has accumulated several smaller pieces in its long history, including: 1. Repacking all reachable objects into one pack-file (and deleting unreachable objects). 2. Packing refs. 3. Expiring reflogs. 4. Clearing rerere logs. 5. Updating the commit-graph file. 6. Pruning worktrees. While expiring reflogs, clearing rererelogs, and deleting unreachable objects are suitable under the guise of "garbage collection", packing refs and updating the commit-graph file are not as obviously fitting. Further, these operations are "all or nothing" in that they rewrite almost all repository data, which does not perform well at extremely large scales. These operations can also be disruptive to foreground Git commands when git gc --auto triggers during routine use. This series does not intend to change what git gc does, but instead create new choices for automatic maintenance activities, of which git gc remains the only one enabled by default. The new maintenance tasks are: * 'commit-graph' : write and verify a single layer of an incremental commit-graph. * 'loose-objects' : prune packed loose objects, then create a new pack from a batch of loose objects. * 'pack-files' : expire redundant packs from the multi-pack-index, then repack using the multi-pack-index's incremental repack strategy. * 'prefetch' : fetch from each remote, storing the refs in 'refs/prefetch/ /'. The only included tasks are the 'gc' and 'commit-graph' tasks. The rest will follow in a follow-up series. Including the 'commit-graph' task here allows us to build and test features like config settings and the --task= command-line argument. These tasks are all disabled by default, but can be enabled with config options or run explicitly using "git maintenance run --task=". There are additional config options to allow customizing the conditions for which the tasks run during the '--auto' option. Because 'gc' is implemented as a maintenance task, the most dramatic change of this series is to convert the 'git gc --auto' calls into 'git maintenance run --auto' calls at the end of some Git commands. By default, the only change is that 'git gc --auto' will be run below an additional 'git maintenance' process. The 'git maintenance' builtin has a 'run' subcommand so it can be extended later with subcommands that manage background maintenance, such as 'start' or 'stop'. These are not the subject of this series, as it is important to focus on the maintenance activities themselves. Update in v4 ============ A segfault when running just "git maintenance" is fixed. Updates since v3 ================ * Two commit-message typos are fixed. Thanks for all of the review! Updates since v2 ================ * Based on jc/no-update-fetch-head instead of jk/strvec. * I realized that the other maintenance subcommands should not accept the options for the 'run' subcommand, so I reorganized the option parsing into that subcommand. This makes the range-diff noisier than it would have been otherwise. * While updating the parsing, I also updated the usage strings. * The "verify, then delete and rewrite on failure" logic is removed. I'll consider bringing this back with a way to test the behavior in a later patch series. * Other feedback from Jonathan Tan is applied. Updates since v1 (of this series) ================================= * Documentation fixes. * The builtin code had some slight tweaks in PATCH 1. UPDATES since v3 of [1] ======================= * The biggest change here is the use of "test_subcommand", based on Jonathan Nieder's approach. This requires having the exact command-line figured out, which now requires spelling out all --no- [quiet%7Cprogress] options. I also added a bunch of "2>/dev/null" checks because of the isatty(2) calls. Without that, the behavior will change depending on whether the test is run with -x/-v or without. * The option parsing has changed to use a local struct and pass that struct to the helper methods. This is instead of having a global singleton.
