[PATCH 2/3] repack: add --filter=<filter-spec> option

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

 



From: Christian Couder <chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

After cloning with --filter=<filter-spec>, for example to avoid
getting unneeded large files on a user machine, it's possible
that some of these large files still get fetched for some reasons
(like checking out old branches) over time.

In this case the repo size could grow too much for no good reason
and `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` would be useful to remove
the unneeded large files.

This command could be dangerous to use though, as it might remove
local objects that haven't been pushed which would lose data and
corrupt the repo. On a server this command could also corrupt a
repo unless ALL the removed objects aren't already available in
another remote that clients can access.

To avoid as much as possible data to be lost and repos to be
corrupted, let's warn users and ask them to confirm that they
really want to use this command.

If no terminal is used, let's just die() for now. A follow-up
commit will introduce a --force option that will allow using
this option when no terminal is available.

It will be easier to test that --filter is working correctly
in the follow-up commit that adds --force, so let's just test
that we die() if no terminal is used for now.
