Subject: [PATCH] fetch: only run 'gc' once when fetching multiple remotes
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 16:46:30 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190619094630.32557-1-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)

In multiple remotes mode, git-fetch is launched for n-1 remotes and the
last remote is handled by the current process. Each of these processes
will in turn run 'gc' at the end.

This is not really a problem because even if multiple 'gc --auto' is run
at the same time we still handle it correctly. It does show multiple
"auto packing in the background" messages though. And we may waste some
resources when gc actually runs because we still do some stuff before
checking the lock and moving it to background.

So let's try to avoid that. We should only need one 'gc' run after all
objects and references are added anyway. Add a new option --no-auto-gc
that will be used by those n-1 processes. 'gc --auto' will always run on
the main fetch process (*).

(*) even if we fetch remotes in parallel at some point in future, this
    should still be fine because we should "join" all those processes
    before this step.
