[PATCH v3 16/17] builtin/gc.c: conditionally avoid pruning objects via loose

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

 



Expose the new `git repack --cruft` mode from `git gc` via a new opt-in
flag. When invoked like `git gc --cruft`, `git gc` will avoid exploding
unreachable objects as loose ones, and instead create a cruft pack and
`.mtimes` file.
