[PATCH v3 0/4] pack-refs: allow users control over which refs to pack

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

 



git-pack-refs does not currently give much control over which refs are
packed. By default, all tags and already packed refs are packed. --all
allows the user to pack all refs. Beyond this the user does not have
control. Introduce a pair of options --include and --exclude that will allow
users full control over which refs end up in the packed-refs file.

Changes since v2:

 * repurpose ref_exclusions to be used for ref inclusions
 * fixed test formatting
 * adjusted --include to not include default of all tags

Changes since v1:

 * Clarify that --all packs not just branch tips but all refs under refs/ in
   the documentation in patch 1
 * Add --include in patch 3

It's worth noting that [1] discussed a proposal for a pack refs v2 format
that would improve deletion speeds. The ref-table backend would also improve
performance of deletions. However, both of those proposals are still being
discussed.
