Feature Request: Support git bundle create with thick packs to allow application to shallow clones

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

 



Hi folks,

The current git bundle create command hardcodes passing --thin to
git-pack-objects, which can result in bundle files that cannot be
applied to shallow clones.

I've detailed a possible workaround for creating thick packs in my
Stackoverflow post.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79256488/is-it-possible-to-create-a-git-bundle-of-a-revision-range-with-minimal-prerequis

Is there appetite from the maintainers for natively supporting the
ability to create bundles whose only prerequisites are the excluded
commits in each revision range?

I think such bundles are useful for applying to shallow clones, which
are commonly used with large monorepos.

Thanks,
~Henry
