We are interested in exploring whether gc.cruftPacks=true should become the default value. To determine whether it is safe to do so, let's encourage more users to try it out. Users who have set feature.experimental=true have already volunteered to try new and possibly-breaking config changes, so let's try this new default with that set of users.

feature.*::
|
|
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
|
|
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
|
|
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
|
|
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
|
|
|
|
feature.experimental::
|
|
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
|
|
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
|
|
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
|
|
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
|
|
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
|
|
features. The new default values are:
|
|
+
|
|
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
|
|
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
|
|
+
|
|
* `gc.cruftPacks=true` reduces disk space used by unreachable objects during
|
|
garbage collection, preventing loose object explosions.
|
|
|
|
feature.manyFiles::
|
|
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
|
|
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
|
|
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
|
|
+
|
|
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
|
|
+
|
|
* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
|
|
that mtime is working on your machine.
