Derrick Stolee	acc1c4d5d4	maintenance: incremental strategy runs pack-refs weekly When the 'maintenance.strategy' config option is set to 'incremental', a default maintenance schedule is enabled. Add the 'pack-refs' task to that strategy at the weekly cadence.

Derrick Stolee	a4cb1a2339	maintenance: create maintenance.strategy config To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which assigns the following schedule: * gc: never * prefetch: hourly * commit-graph: hourly * loose-objects: daily * incremental-repack: daily These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git commands and use few compute resources. The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled' and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta" config options that change default config values. This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly and no other tasks by default.

Derrick Stolee	b08ff1fee0	maintenance: add --schedule option and config Maintenance currently triggers when certain data-size thresholds are met, such as number of pack-files or loose objects. Users may want to run certain maintenance tasks based on frequency instead. For example, a user may want to perform a 'prefetch' task every hour, or 'gc' task every day. To help these users, update the 'git maintenance run' command to include a '--schedule=<frequency>' option. The allowed frequencies are 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly'. These values are also allowed in a new config value 'maintenance.<task>.schedule'. The 'git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>' checks the '.schedule' config value for each enabled task to see if the configured frequency is at least as frequent as the frequency from the '--schedule' argument. We use the following order, for full clarity: 'hourly' > 'daily' > 'weekly' Use new 'enum schedule_priority' to track these values numerically. The following cron table would run the scheduled tasks with the correct frequencies: 0 1-23 * * git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=hourly 0 0 * * 1-6 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=daily 0 0 * * 0 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=weekly This cron schedule will run --schedule=hourly every hour except at midnight. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=daily that runs at midnight every day except the first day of the week. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=weekly that runs at midnight on the first day of the week. Since --schedule=daily also runs the 'hourly' tasks and --schedule=weekly runs the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks, we will still see all tasks run with the proper frequencies.

Derrick Stolee	1942d48380	maintenance: optionally skip --auto process Some commands run 'git maintenance run --auto --[no-]quiet' after doing their normal work, as a way to keep repositories clean as they are used. Currently, users who do not want this maintenance to occur would set the 'gc.auto' config option to 0 to avoid the 'gc' task from running. However, this does not stop the extra process invocation. On Windows, this extra process invocation can be more expensive than necessary. Allow users to drop this extra process by setting 'maintenance.auto' to 'false'.

Derrick Stolee	e841a79a13	maintenance: add incremental-repack auto condition The incremental-repack task updates the multi-pack-index by deleting pack- files that have been replaced with new packs, then repacking a batch of small pack-files into a larger pack-file. This incremental repack is faster than rewriting all object data, but is slower than some other maintenance activities. The 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' config option specifies how many pack-files should exist outside of the multi-pack-index before running the step. These pack-files could be created by 'git fetch' commands or by the loose-objects task. The default value is 10. Setting the option to zero disables the task with the '--auto' option, and a negative value makes the task run every time.

Derrick Stolee	3e220e6069	maintenance: create auto condition for loose-objects The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file. If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum number of objects to justify the task. The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto' option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value will force it to run every time.

Derrick Stolee	4ddc79b2da	maintenance: add auto condition for commit-graph task Instead of writing a new commit-graph in every 'git maintenance run --auto' process (when maintenance.commit-graph.enalbed is configured to be true), only write when there are "enough" commits not in a commit-graph file. This count is controlled by the maintenance.commit-graph.auto config option. To compute the count, use a depth-first search starting at each ref, and leaving markers using the SEEN flag. If this count reaches the limit, then terminate early and start the task. Otherwise, this operation will peel every ref and parse the commit it points to. If these are all in the commit-graph, then this is typically a very fast operation. Users with many refs might feel a slow-down, and hence could consider updating their limit to be very small. A negative value will force the step to run every time. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	4 years ago
Derrick Stolee	65d655b52d	maintenance: create maintenance.<task>.enabled config Currently, a normal run of "git maintenance run" will only run the 'gc' task, as it is the only one enabled. This is mostly for backwards- compatible reasons since "git maintenance run --auto" commands replaced previous "git gc --auto" commands after some Git processes. Users could manually run specific maintenance tasks by calling "git maintenance run --task=<task>" directly. Allow users to customize which steps are run automatically using config. The 'maintenance.<task>.enabled' option then can turn on these other tasks (or turn off the 'gc' task).
