A new flag, --stdin, allows for a pack to be received over a stream. When this flag is provided, the pack content is written to either the named pack file or directly to the object repository under the same name as produced by git-repack. The pack index is written as well with the corresponding base name, unless the index name is overriden with -o. With this patch, git-index-pack could be used instead of git-unpack-objects when fetching remote objects but only with non "thin" packs for now.

|
|
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-index-pack' [-o <index-file>] { <pack-file> | --stdin [<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.
