Hi git users, I use git (a very basic usage) every day and I noticed a big slowdown when I do a "git repack -a -d". I noticed that it only happens when I do backup to an usb stick. After a few investigation, I noticed that sync() is call when repacking objects (from both builtin-prune.c and builtin-prune-packed.c). I do understand that syncing filesystem is usefull and needed. But is there a good idea to add a --no-sync option to prevent that behaviour ? I think this might be useful if you repack many repositories. If you call the sync command before looping the repacks I guess this could be equivalent (modulo changes done in repositories during that time). Any idea suggestions ? Thanks lot Cheers. -- Sébastien Gross -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
