Johannes Schindelin	25ee9731c1	gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the commit object just about to be created. Since it is dangerous, we told users so. That led to many users not even daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with --prune, or to call git-prune directly. Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned. Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which makes it a much safer operation. This allows us to call prune from git-gc, with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one). If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be [gc] pruneExpire = 6.months.ago or even "never", if you feel really paranoid. Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op. While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

Johannes Schindelin	f01913e419	Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune' Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects. This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in an ongoing operation. This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects which are older than a certain time. For example, by git prune --expire 14.days you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated). The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime, because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and omitting the test when the platform does not support that command line switch).

Johannes Schindelin	552cecc214	Teach "git reflog" a subcommand to delete single entries This commit implements the "delete" subcommand: git reflog delete master@{2} will delete the second reflog entry of the "master" branch. With this, it should be easy to implement "git stash pop" everybody seems to want these days. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Junio C Hamano	026aa93818	Revert "prune: --grace=time" This reverts commit `9b088c4e39`. Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead, and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately create crufts anyway.	18 years ago
Matthias Lederhofer	9b088c4e39	prune: --grace=time This option gives grace period to objects that are unreachable from the refs from getting pruned. The default value is 24 hours and may be changed using gc.prunegrace. Signed-off-by: Matthias Lederhofer <matled@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Johannes Schindelin	1b510aa442	Fix t1410 for core.filemode==false Since `c869753e`, core.filemode is hardwired to false on Cygwin. So this test had no chance to succeed, since an early commit (changing just the filemode) failed, and therefore all subsequent tests.

Junio C Hamano	1389d9ddaa	reflog expire --fix-stale The logic in an earlier round to detect reflog entries that point at a broken commit was not sufficient. Just like we do not trust presense of a commit during pack transfer (we trust only our refs), we should not trust a commit's presense, even if the tree of that commit is complete. A repository that had reflog enabled on some of the refs that was rewound and then run git-repack or git-prune from older versions of git can have reflog entries that point at a commit that still exist but lack commits (or trees and blobs needed for that commit) between it and some commit that is reachable from one of the refs. This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit" becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the refs. Entries in the reflog that refer to such a commit are expired. Since this computation involves traversing all the reachable objects, i.e. it has the same cost as 'git prune', it is enabled only when a new option --fix-stale. Fortunately, once this is run, we should not have to ever worry about missing objects, because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs and protect objects referred by them. Unfortunately, this will be absolutely necessary to help people migrate to the newer prune and repack. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
