git-repack currently does not pass --keep-pack or --honor-pack-keep to the git-pack-objects handling promisor packs. This means that settings like gc.bigPackThreshold are completely ignored for promisor packs. The simple fix is to just copy the keep-pack logic into repack_promisor_objects(), although this could possibly be improved by making prepare_pack_objects() handle it instead. Signed-off-by: Tomáš Trnka <trnka@xxxxxxx> --- RFC: This probably needs a test, but where and how should it be implemented? Perhaps in t7700-repack.sh, copying one of the tests using prepare_for_keep_packs and just touching .promisor files? Or instead in t/t0410-partial-clone.sh using a copy/variant of one of the basic repack tests there? builtin/repack.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/repack.c b/builtin/repack.c index d6bb37e84a..fe62fe03eb 100644 --- a/builtin/repack.c +++ b/builtin/repack.c @@ -388,15 +388,23 @@ static int has_pack_ext(const struct generated_pack_data *data, } static void repack_promisor_objects(const struct pack_objects_args *args, - struct string_list *names) + struct string_list *names, + struct string_list *keep_pack_list) { struct child_process cmd = CHILD_PROCESS_INIT; FILE *out; struct strbuf line = STRBUF_INIT; + int i; prepare_pack_objects(&cmd, args, packtmp); cmd.in = -1; + if (!pack_kept_objects) + strvec_push(&cmd.args, "--honor-pack-keep"); + for (i = 0; i < keep_pack_list->nr; i++) + strvec_pushf(&cmd.args, "--keep-pack=%s", + keep_pack_list->items[i].string); + /* * NEEDSWORK: Giving pack-objects only the OIDs without any ordering * hints may result in suboptimal deltas in the resulting pack.
