[PATCH v2 2/2] repack: add config to skip updating server info

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

 



By default, git-repack(1) will update server info that is required by
the dumb HTTP transport. This can be skipped by passing the `-n` flag,
but what we're noticably missing is a config option to permanently
disable updating this information.

Add a new option "repack.updateServerInfo" which can be used to disable
the logic. Most hosting providers have turned off the dumb HTTP protocol
anyway, and on the client-side it woudln't typically be useful either.
Giving a persistent way to disable this feature thus makes quite some
sense to avoid wasting compute cycles and storage.
