Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set
|
||||
for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset`
|
||||
option to 'git pack-objects'; this typically results in slightly
|
||||
smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with
|
||||
versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3; do not set
|
||||
the variable in a repository that older version of git needs to
|
||||
be able to read (this includes repositories from which packs can
|
||||
be copied out over http or rsync, and people who obtained packs
|
||||
that way can try to use older git with it).
|
||||
By default, the command passes `--delta-base-offset` option to
|
||||
'git pack-objects'; this typically results in slightly smaller packs,
|
||||
but the generated packs are incompatible with versions of Git older than
|
||||
version 1.4.4. If you need to share your repository with such ancient Git
|
||||
versions, either directly or via the dumb http or rsync protocol, then you
|
||||
need to set the configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` to
|
||||
"false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the native protocol
|
||||
is unaffected by this option as the conversion is performed on the fly
|
||||
as needed in that case.
