The soon-to-be-implemented multi-pack bitmap treats object in the first bit position specially by assuming that all objects in the pack it was selected from are also represented from that pack in the MIDX. In other words, the pack from which the first object was selected must also have all of its other objects selected from that same pack in the MIDX in case of any duplicates. But this assumption relies on the fact that there is at least one object in that pack to begin with; otherwise the object in the first bit position isn't from a preferred pack, in which case we can no longer assume that all objects in that pack were also selected from the same pack. Guard this assumption by checking the number of objects in the given preferred pack, and failing if the given pack is empty. To make sure we can safely perform this check, open any packs which are contained in an existing MIDX via prepare_midx_pack(). The same is done for new packs via the add_pack_to_midx() callback, but packs picked up from a previous MIDX will not yet have these opened.

NAME

|
|
git-multi-pack-index - Write and verify multi-pack-indexes
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git multi-pack-index' [--object-dir=<dir>] [--[no-]progress]
|
|
[--preferred-pack=<pack>] <subcommand>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Write or verify a multi-pack-index (MIDX) file.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--object-dir=<dir>::
|
|
Use given directory for the location of Git objects. We check
|
|
`<dir>/packs/multi-pack-index` for the current MIDX file, and
|
|
`<dir>/packs` for the pack-files to index.
|
|
|
|
--[no-]progress::
|
|
Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified, progress is
|
|
shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
|
|
|
|
The following subcommands are available:
|
|
|
|
write::
|
|
Write a new MIDX file. The following options are available for
|
|
the `write` sub-command:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
--preferred-pack=<pack>::
|
|
Optionally specify the tie-breaking pack used when
|
|
multiple packs contain the same object. `<pack>` must
|
|
contain at least one object. If not given, ties are
|
|
broken in favor of the pack with the lowest mtime.
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
verify::
|
|
Verify the contents of the MIDX file.
|
|
|
|
expire::
|
|
Delete the pack-files that are tracked by the MIDX file, but
|
|
have no objects referenced by the MIDX. Rewrite the MIDX file
|
|
afterward to remove all references to these pack-files.
|
|
|
|
repack::
|
|
Create a new pack-file containing objects in small pack-files
|
|
referenced by the multi-pack-index. If the size given by the
|
|
`--batch-size=<size>` argument is zero, then create a pack
|
|
containing all objects referenced by the multi-pack-index. For
|
|
a non-zero batch size, Select the pack-files by examining packs
|
|
from oldest-to-newest, computing the "expected size" by counting
|
|
the number of objects in the pack referenced by the
|
|
multi-pack-index, then divide by the total number of objects in
|
|
the pack and multiply by the pack size. We select packs with
|
|
expected size below the batch size until the set of packs have
|
|
total expected size at least the batch size, or all pack-files
|
|
are considered. If only one pack-file is selected, then do
|
|
nothing. If a new pack-file is created, rewrite the
|
|
multi-pack-index to reference the new pack-file. A later run of
|
|
'git multi-pack-index expire' will delete the pack-files that
|
|
were part of this batch.
|
|
+
|
|
If `repack.packKeptObjects` is `false`, then any pack-files with an
|
|
associated `.keep` file will not be selected for the batch to repack.
|

EXAMPLES
|
|
--------

-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Write a MIDX file for the packfiles in an alternate object store.

|
-----------------------------------------------
|
