Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] gc docs: modernize and fix the documentation
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 21:50:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190321205054.17109-1-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190318161502.7979-1-avarab@gmail.com>
For v1 see: https://public-inbox.org/git/20190318161502.7979-1-avarab@gmail.com/
This addresses all the feedback it got, which includes splitting out
various "while we're at it" fixes, and then I found/remembered some
more things I needed to fix.
It would still be great to have Peff submit some version of his
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190319001829.GL29661@sigill.intra.peff.net/
reply to the NOTES section sometime, but I had to stop somewhere.
I also documented the fast-import caveat discussed in
https://public-inbox.org/git/87o964cnn0.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ while
I was at it, as promised.
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (10):
gc docs: modernize the advice for manually running "gc"
gc docs: stop noting "repack" flags
gc docs: clean grammar for "gc.bigPackThreshold"
gc docs: include the "gc.*" section from "config" in "gc"
gc docs: re-flow the "gc.*" section in "config"
gc docs: note how --aggressive impacts --window & --depth
gc docs: downplay the usefulness of --aggressive
gc docs: note "gc --aggressive" in "fast-import"
gc docs: clarify that "gc" doesn't throw away referenced objects
gc docs: remove incorrect reference to gc.auto=0

++----------
++
++When the `--aggressive` option is supplied, linkgit:git-repack[1] will
++be invoked with the `-f` flag, which in turn will pass
++`--no-reuse-delta` to linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This will throw
++away any existing deltas and re-compute them, at the expense of
++spending much more time on the repacking.
++
++The effects of this are mostly persistent, e.g. when packs and loose
++objects are coalesced into one another pack the existing deltas in
++that pack might get re-used, but there are also various cases where we
++might pick a sub-optimal delta from a newer pack instead.
++
++Furthermore, supplying `--aggressive` will tweak the `--depth` and
++`--window` options passed to linkgit:git-repack[1]. See the
++`gc.aggressiveDepth` and `gc.aggressiveWindow` settings below. By
++using a larger window size we're more likely to find more optimal
++deltas.
++
++It's probably not worth it to use this option on a given repository
++without running tailored performance benchmarks on it. It takes a lot
++more time, and the resulting space/delta optimization may or may not
++be worth it. Not using this at all is the right trade-off for most
++users and their repositories.
