NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git-index-pack' [-v] [-o <index-file>] <pack-file> |
|
'git-index-pack' --stdin [--fix-thin] [--keep] [-v] [-o <index-file>] |
|
[<pack-file>] |
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and |
|
builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive |
|
together with the pack index can then be placed in the |
|
objects/pack/ directory of a git repository. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
-v:: |
|
Be verbose about what is going on, including progress status. |
|
|
|
-o <index-file>:: |
|
Write the generated pack index into the specified |
|
file. Without this option the name of pack index |
|
file is constructed from the name of packed archive |
|
file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program |
|
fails if the name of packed archive does not end |
|
with .pack). |
|
|
|
--stdin:: |
|
When this flag is provided, the pack is read from stdin |
|
instead and a copy is then written to <pack-file>. If |
|
<pack-file> is not specified, the pack is written to |
|
objects/pack/ directory of the current git repository with |
|
a default name determined from the pack content. If |
|
<pack-file> is not specified consider using --keep to |
|
prevent a race condition between this process and |
|
gitlink::git-repack[1] . |
|
|
|
--fix-thin:: |
|
It is possible for gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] to build |
|
"thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based on |
|
objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic. |
|
Those objects are expected to be present on the receiving end |
|
and they must be included in the pack for that pack to be self |
|
contained and indexable. Without this option any attempt to |
|
index a thin pack will fail. This option only makes sense in |
|
conjunction with --stdin. |
|
|
|
--keep:: |
|
Before moving the index into its final destination |
|
create an empty .keep file for the associated pack file. |
|
This option is usually necessary with --stdin to prevent a |
|
simultaneous gitlink:git-repack[1] process from deleting |
|
the newly constructed pack and index before refs can be |
|
updated to use objects contained in the pack. |
|
|
|
--keep='why':: |
|
Like --keep create a .keep file before moving the index into |
|
its final destination, but rather than creating an empty file |
|
place 'why' followed by an LF into the .keep file. The 'why' |
|
message can later be searched for within all .keep files to |
|
locate any which have outlived their usefulness. |
|
|
|
--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]:: |
|
This is intended to be used by the test suite only. It allows |
|
to force the version for the generated pack index, and to force |
|
64-bit index entries on objects located above the given offset. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note |
|
---- |
|
|
|
Once the index has been created, the list of object names is sorted |
|
and the SHA1 hash of that list is printed to stdout. If --stdin was |
|
also used then this is prefixed by either "pack\t", or "keep\t" if a |
|
new .keep file was successfully created. This is useful to remove a |
|
.keep file used as a lock to prevent the race with gitlink:git-repack[1] |
|
mentioned above. |
