Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] refs: add a `optimize_required` field to `struct ref_storage_be`
Date: Sat, 08 Nov 2025 22:51:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251108-562-add-sub-command-to-check-if-maintenance-is-needed-v4-3-a90f229b6023@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251108-562-add-sub-command-to-check-if-maintenance-is-needed-v4-0-a90f229b6023@gmail.com>
To allow users of the refs namespace to check if the reference backend
requires optimization, add a new field `optimize_required` field to
`struct ref_storage_be`. This field is of type `optimize_required_fn`
which is also introduced in this commit.
Modify the debug, files, packed and reftable backend to implement this
field. A following commit will expose this via 'git pack-refs' and 'git
refs optimize'.
