git-repack(1) |
|
============= |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-repack - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of |
|
objects into pack files. |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-repack' [-a] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N] |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently |
|
reside in a "pack", into a pack. |
|
|
|
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with |
|
delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an |
|
associated index file. |
|
|
|
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup |
|
engines, disk storage, etc. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
|
|
-a:: |
|
Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, |
|
pack everything available into a single pack. |
|
Especially useful when packing a repository that is used |
|
for a private development and there no need to worry |
|
about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use |
|
with '-d'. |
|
|
|
-d:: |
|
After packing, if the newly created packs make some |
|
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. |
|
Also runs gitlink:git-prune-packed[1]. |
|
|
|
-l:: |
|
Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
|
|
|
-f:: |
|
Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
|
|
|
-q:: |
|
Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
|
|
|
-n:: |
|
Do not update the server information with |
|
`git update-server-info`. |
|
|
|
--window=[N], --depth=[N]:: |
|
These two options affects how the objects contained in the pack are |
|
stored using delta compression. The objects are first internally |
|
sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the |
|
other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves |
|
space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep |
|
affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs |
|
to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object. |
