--all::
|
|
|
|
The command by default packs all tags and refs that are already
|
|
packed, and leaves other refs
|
|
alone. This is because branches are expected to be actively
|
|
developed and packing their tips does not help performance.
|
|
This option causes all refs to be packed as well, with the exception
|
|
of hidden refs, broken refs, and symbolic refs. Useful for a repository
|
|
with many branches of historical interests.
|
|
|
|
--no-prune::
|
|
|
|
The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs`
|
|
hierarchy after packing them. This option tells it not to.
|
|
|
|
--auto::
|
|
|
|
Pack refs as needed depending on the current state of the ref database. The
|
|
behavior depends on the ref format used by the repository and may change in the
|
|
future.
|
|
+
|
|
- "files": Loose references are packed into the `packed-refs` file
|
|
based on the ratio of loose references to the size of the
|
|
`packed-refs` file. The bigger the `packed-refs` file, the more loose
|
|
references need to exist before we repack.
|
|
+
|
|
- "reftable": Tables are compacted such that they form a geometric
|
|
sequence. For two tables N and N+1, where N+1 is newer, this
|
|
maintains the property that N is at least twice as big as N+1. Only
|
|
tables that violate this property are compacted.
|
|
|
|
--include <pattern>::
|
|
|
|
Pack refs based on a `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
|
|
accumulate inclusion patterns. If a ref is both included in `--include` and
|
|
`--exclude`, `--exclude` takes precedence. Using `--include` will preclude all
|
|
tags from being included by default. Symbolic refs and broken refs will never
|
|
be packed. When used with `--all`, it will be a noop. Use `--no-include` to clear
|
|
and reset the list of patterns.
|
|
|
|
--exclude <pattern>::
|
|
|
|
Do not pack refs matching the given `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
|
|
accumulate exclusion patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear and reset the list of
|
|
patterns. If a ref is already packed, including it with `--exclude` will not
|
|
unpack it.
|
|
+
|
|
When used with `--all`, pack only loose refs which do not match any of
|
|
the provided `--exclude` patterns.
|
|
+
|
|
When used with `--include`, refs provided to `--include`, minus refs that are
|
|
provided to `--exclude` will be packed.
