This can be valuable as split-index can help significantly speed up `git rebase` especially along with the work to libify `git apply` that has been merged to master (see https://github.com/git/git/commit/81358dc238372793b1590efa149cc1581d1fbd98) and is now in v2.11. Design ~~~~~~ The design is similar as the previous work that introduced "core.untrackedCache". The new "core.splitIndex" configuration option can be either true, false or undefined which is the default. When it is true, the split index is created, if it does not already exists, when the index is read. When it is false, the split index is removed if it exists, when the index is read. Otherwise it is left as is. Along with this new configuration variable, the two following options are also introduced: - splitIndex.maxPercentChange This is to avoid having too many changes accumulating in the split index while in split index mode. The git-update-index documentation says: If split-index mode is already enabled and `--split-index` is given again, all changes in $GIT_DIR/index are pushed back to the shared index file. but it is probably better to not expect the user to think about it and to have a mechanism that pushes back all changes to the shared index file automatically when some threshold is reached. The default threshold is when the number of entries in the split index file reaches 20% of the number of entries in the shared index file. The new "splitIndex.maxPercentChange" config option lets people tweak this value. - splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire To make sure that old sharedindex files are eventually removed when a new one has been created, we "touch" the shared index file every time a split index file using the shared index file is either created or read from. Then we can delete shared indexes with an mtime older than one week (by default), when we create a new shared index file. The new "splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire" config option lets people tweak this grace period. This idea was suggested by Duy in: https://public-inbox.org/git/CACsJy8BqMFASHf5kJgUh+bd7XG98CafNydE964VJyPXz-emEvA@mail.gmail.com/ and after some experiments, I agree that it is much simpler than what I thought could be done during our discussion. Junio also thinks that we have to do "time-based GC" in: https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqeg33ccjj.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/ Note that this patch series doesn't address a leak when removing a split-index, but Duy wrote that he has a patch to fix this leak: https://public-inbox.org/git/CACsJy8AisF2ZVs7JdnVFp5wdskkbVQQQ=DBq5UzE1MOsCfBMtQ@mail.gmail.com/ Highlevel view of the patches in the series ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Except for patch 1/21, there are 3 big steps, one for each new configuration variable introduced. There only a few small differences between this patch series and the v2 patch series sent a few weeks ago. Only two commits have been changed a little, as suggested by Duy. - Patch 1/21 marks a message for translation. It was a new patch in v2 and it can be applied separately. (The patch 1/19 in v1, which was a typo fix, has been merged separately into master already.) Step 1 is: - Patches 2/21 to 5/21 introduce the functions that are reading the "core.splitIndex" configuration variable and tweaking the split index depending on its value. - Patch 6/21 adds a few tests for the new feature. - Patches 7/21 and 8/21 add some documentation for the new feature. The only change since v2 in this step is that an unnecessary variable initialization has been droped in 2/21, as suggested by Duy. Step 2 is: - Patches 9/21 and 10/21 introduce the functions that are reading the "splitIndex.maxPercentChange" configuration variable and regenerating a new shared index file depending on its value. - Patch 11/21 adds a few tests for the new feature. - Patch 12/21 add some documentation for the new feature. There are no changes in this step since v2. Step 3 is: - Patches 13/21 to 16/21 introduce the functions that are reading the "splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire" configuration variable and expiring old shared index files depending on its value. - Patch 17/21 adds a few tests for the new feature. - Patches 18/21 and 19/21 are new patches. They update the mtime of the shared index file when a split index based on the shared index file is read from. 18/21 is a refactoring to make the actual change in 19/21 easier. - Patches 20/21 and 21/21 add some documentation for the new feature. The only change since v2 in this step is that the full shared index path is passed to the can_delete_shared_index() function in 16/21 as suggested by Duy.
