Mine didn't take nearly that wrong, but it does depend on filesystem and
disk performance. It's going to create 500k lock files in refs/foo. :)
You can cheat a bit like this:
{
# grab existing packed refs; don't worry about peel lines or the
# header comment, we're producing a lowest-common denominator
# version of the file
grep '^[0-9a-f]' packed-refs
# now make our new fake refs
git rev-list HEAD |
head -500000 |
perl -lne 'print "$_ refs/foo/$."'
} >packed-refs.tmp
mv packed-refs.tmp packed-refs
# and now ask Git to repack to get everything sorted, etc
git pack-refs --all --prune
It sounds like you were able to come up with a smaller version to play
with anyway, but I enjoy coming up with such hacks. :)
