[PATCH v4 1/3] repack: pack everything into packfile

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

 



In a partial repository, creating a local commit and then fetching
causes the following state to occur:

commit  tree  blob
 C3 ---- T3 -- B3 (fetched from remote, in promisor pack)
 |
 C2 ---- T2 -- B2 (created locally, in non-promisor pack)
 |
 C1 ---- T1 -- B1 (fetched from remote, in promisor pack)

During garbage collection, parents of promisor objects are marked as
UNINTERESTING and are subsequently garbage collected. In this case, C2
would be deleted and attempts to access that commit would result in "bad
object" errors (originally reported here[1]).

For partial repos, repacking is done in two steps. We first repack all the
objects in promisor packfile, then repack all the non-promisor objects.
It turns out C2, T2 and B2 are not repacked in either steps, ended up deleted.
We can avoid this by packing everything into a promisor packfile, if the repo
is partial cloned.
