From db5368b846ac4c21f8d3bbc8e63c9b8d38ff19ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 12:55:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gc docs: change --keep-base-pack to --keep-largest-pack MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The --keep-base-pack option never existed in git.git. It was the name for the --keep-largest-pack option in earlier revisions of that series before it landed as ae4e89e549 ("gc: add --keep-largest-pack option", 2018-04-15). The later patches in that series[1][2] weren't changed to also refer to --keep-largest-pack, so we've had this reference to a nonexisting option ever since the feature initially landed. 1. 55dfe13df9 ("gc: add gc.bigPackThreshold config", 2018-04-15) 2. 9806f5a7bf ("gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad"", 2018-04-15) Reported-by: Luc Van Oostenryck Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Documentation/config/gc.txt | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/config/gc.txt b/Documentation/config/gc.txt index 00ea0a678e..c834e07991 100644 --- a/Documentation/config/gc.txt +++ b/Documentation/config/gc.txt @@ -44,9 +44,9 @@ gc.autoDetach:: gc.bigPackThreshold:: If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when - `git gc` is run.
