A new flag, --fix-thin, instructs git-index-pack to append any missing objects to a thin pack to make it self contained and indexable. Of course objects missing from the pack must be present elsewhere in the local repository. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

|
|
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-index-pack' [-o <index-file>] <pack-file>
|
|
'git-index-pack' --stdin [--fix-thin] [-o <index-file>] [<pack-file>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and
|
|
builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive
|
|
together with the pack index can then be placed in the
|
|
objects/pack/ directory of a git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-o <index-file>::
|
|
Write the generated pack index into the specified
|
|
file. Without this option the name of pack index
|
|
file is constructed from the name of packed archive
|
|
file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program
|
|
fails if the name of packed archive does not end
|
|
with .pack).
|
|
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
When this flag is provided, the pack is read from stdin
|
|
instead and a copy is then written to <pack-file>. If
|
|
<pack-file> is not specified, the pack is written to
|
|
objects/pack/ directory of the current git repository with
|
|
a default name determined from the pack content.
|
|
|
|
--fix-thin::
|
|
It is possible for gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] to build
|
|
"thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based on
|
|
objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
|
|
Those objects are expected to be present on the receiving end
|
|
and they must be included in the pack for that pack to be self
|
|
contained and indexable. Without this option any attempt to
|
|
index a thin pack will fail. This option only makes sense in
|
|
conjonction with --stdin.
