I noticed this failure if I run git from the build directory:
$ ./git --exec-path=. gc
usage: git pack-objects [{ -q | --progress | --all-progress }]
[--max-pack-size=N] [--local] [--incremental]
[--window=N] [--window-memory=N] [--depth=N]
[--no-reuse-delta] [--no-reuse-object] [--delta-base-offset]
[--threads=N] [--non-empty] [--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--reflog]
[--include-tag] [--keep-unreachable | --unpack-unreachable]
--stdout | base-name < ref-or-object-list
error: failed to run repack
The reason is that the version of pack-objects that I have installed in
$prefix does not know the option --kept-pack-only, which ./git-repack
passes along. It doesn't matter whether I have $prefix in PATH or not.
But on the other hand:
$ ./git --exec-path=. repack -a -d
Counting objects: 104070, done.
Delta compression using 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (26161/26161), done.
Writing objects: 100% (104070/104070), done.
Total 104070 (delta 76376), reused 104070 (delta 76376)
works just fine whereas without --exec-path it fails like git-gc above.
git-gc is a builtin. Should git setenv("GIT_EXEC_PATH") before it runs
other git commands?
