pack.window::
|
|
The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
|
|
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
|
|
|
|
pack.depth::
|
|
The maximum delta depth used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
|
|
maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
|
|
Maximum value is 4095.
|
|
|
|
pack.windowMemory::
|
|
The maximum size of memory that is consumed by each thread
|
|
in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for pack window memory when
|
|
no limit is given on the command line. The value can be
|
|
suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left unconfigured (or
|
|
set explicitly to 0), there will be no limit.
|
|
|
|
pack.compression::
|
|
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
|
|
in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
|
|
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
|
|
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
|
|
not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
|
|
compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
|
|
to level 6)."
|
|
+
|
|
Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress
|
|
all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option
|
|
to linkgit:git-repack[1].
|
|
|
|
pack.island::
|
|
An extended regular expression configuring a set of delta
|
|
islands. See "DELTA ISLANDS" in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
pack.islandCore::
|
|
Specify an island name which gets to have its objects be
|
|
packed first. This creates a kind of pseudo-pack at the front
|
|
of one pack, so that the objects from the specified island are
|
|
hopefully faster to copy into any pack that should be served
|
|
to a user requesting these objects. In practice this means
|
|
that the island specified should likely correspond to what is
|
|
the most commonly cloned in the repo. See also "DELTA ISLANDS"
|
|
in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
|
|
|
|
pack.deltaCacheSize::
|
|
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
|
|
linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
|
|
This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
|
|
having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
|
|
for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
|
|
which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
|
|
especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.
|
|
A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be
|
|
used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB.
|
|
|
|
pack.deltaCacheLimit::
|
|
The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
|
|
linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This cache is used to speed up the
|
|
writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta
|
|
result once the best match for all objects is found.
|
|
Defaults to 1000. Maximum value is 65535.
|
|
|
|
pack.threads::
|
|
Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
|
|
delta matches. This requires that linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
|
|
be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
|
|
warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
|
|
machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
|
|
is however multiplied by the number of threads.
|
|
Specifying 0 will cause Git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
|
|
and set the number of threads accordingly.
|
|
|
|
pack.indexVersion::
|
|
Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
|
|
legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
|
|
the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
|
|
as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
|
|
packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced
|
|
and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
|
|
larger than 2 GB.
|
|
+
|
|
If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
|
|
cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http")
|
|
that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
|
|
other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
|
|
older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
|
|
you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
|
|
the `*.idx` file.
|
|
|
|
pack.packSizeLimit::
|
|
The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
|
|
packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
|
|
is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
|
|
option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. Reaching this limit results
|
|
in the creation of multiple packfiles; which in turn prevents
|
|
bitmaps from being created.
|
|
The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
|
|
The default is unlimited.
|
|
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
pack.useBitmaps::
|
|
When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
|
|
to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
|
|
true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
|
|
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
pack.useSparse::
|
|
When true, git will default to using the '--sparse' option in
|
|
'git pack-objects' when the '--revs' option is present. This
|
|
algorithm only walks trees that appear in paths that introduce new
|
|
objects. This can have significant performance benefits when
|
|
computing a pack to send a small change. However, it is possible
|
|
that extra objects are added to the pack-file if the included
|
|
commits contain certain types of direct renames.
|
|
|
|
pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
|
|
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
|
|
|
|
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
|
|
When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
|
|
index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's
|
|
delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
|
|
bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
|
|
between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
|
|
pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
|
|
bytes per object of disk space. Defaults to true.
