[PATCH v2] index-pack: clarify the breached limit

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

 



From: Matt Cooper <vtbassmatt@xxxxxxxxx>

As a small courtesy to users, report what limit was breached. This
is especially useful when a push exceeds a server-defined limit, since
the user is unlikely to have configured the limit (their host did).
Also demonstrate the human-readable message in a test.

    Specify the actual pack size limit which is breached
    
    Git allows configuring a maximum pack size. GitHub (like presumably
    other Git hosts) configures this setting to a generous but finite limit.
    When a user attempts to push an oversized pack, their connection is
    terminated with a message that they've exceeded the limit. The user has
    to find the limit value elsewhere, probably in the host's documentation.
    This change adds a small convenience -- specifying the limit itself in
    the error message -- so that users no longer have to search elsewhere to
    discover the limit.
    
    v2 squashes the changes into one commit and corrects the commit trailer
    misordering.
