This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

=======================

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-multi-pack-index - Write and verify multi-pack-indexes
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git multi-pack-index' [--object-dir=<dir>] [--[no-]progress] <subcommand>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Write or verify a multi-pack-index (MIDX) file.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--object-dir=<dir>::
|
|
Use given directory for the location of Git objects. We check
|
|
`<dir>/packs/multi-pack-index` for the current MIDX file, and
|
|
`<dir>/packs` for the pack-files to index.
|
|
|
|
--[no-]progress::
|
|
Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified, progress is
|
|
shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
|
|
|
|
The following subcommands are available:
|
|
|
|
write::
|
|
Write a new MIDX file.
|
|
|
|
verify::
|
|
Verify the contents of the MIDX file.
|
|
|
|
expire::
|
|
Delete the pack-files that are tracked by the MIDX file, but
|
|
have no objects referenced by the MIDX. Rewrite the MIDX file
|
|
afterward to remove all references to these pack-files.
|
|
|
|
repack::
|
|
Create a new pack-file containing objects in small pack-files
|
|
referenced by the multi-pack-index. If the size given by the
|
|
`--batch-size=<size>` argument is zero, then create a pack
|
|
containing all objects referenced by the multi-pack-index. For
|
|
a non-zero batch size, Select the pack-files by examining packs
|
|
from oldest-to-newest, computing the "expected size" by counting
|
|
the number of objects in the pack referenced by the
|
|
multi-pack-index, then divide by the total number of objects in
|
|
the pack and multiply by the pack size. We select packs with
|
|
expected size below the batch size until the set of packs have
|
|
total expected size at least the batch size, or all pack-files
|
|
are considered. If only one pack-file is selected, then do
|
|
nothing. If a new pack-file is created, rewrite the
|
|
multi-pack-index to reference the new pack-file. A later run of
|
|
'git multi-pack-index expire' will delete the pack-files that
|
|
were part of this batch.
|
|
+
|
|
If `repack.packKeptObjects` is `false`, then any pack-files with an
|
|
associated `.keep` file will not be selected for the batch to repack.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git multi-pack-index --object-dir <alt> write
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
