Patrick Steinhardt 9f6714ab3e builtin/gc: pack refs when using `git maintenance run --auto` When running `git maintenance run --auto`, then the various subtasks will only run as needed. Thus, we for example end up only packing loose objects if we hit a certain threshold. Interestingly enough, the "pack-refs" task is actually _never_ executed when the auto-flag is set because it does not have a condition at all. As `41abfe15d9` (maintenance: add pack-refs task, 2021-02-09) mentions: The 'auto_condition' function pointer is left NULL for now. We could extend this in the future to have a condition check if pack-refs should be run during 'git maintenance run --auto'. It is not quite clear from that quote whether it is actually intended that the task doesn't run at all in this mode. Also, no test was added to verify this behaviour. Ultimately though, it feels quite surprising that `git maintenance run --auto --task=pack-refs` would quietly never do anything at all. In any case, now that we do have the logic in place to let ref backends decide whether or not to repack refs, it does make sense to wire it up accordingly. With the "reftable" backend we will thus now perform auto-compaction, which optimizes the refdb as needed. But for the "files" backend we now unconditionally pack refs as it does not yet know to handle the "auto" flag. Arguably, this can be seen as a bug fix given that previously the task never did anything at all. Eventually though we should amend the "files" backend to use some heuristics for auto compaction, as well.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
