Subject: Cleanup tool for old blobs in partial clone
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 13:03:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6446f471-87ed-9fc4-fd54-61c5cf95a218@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I recently looked into the partial clone functionality and how it could
be used to replace Git LFS.
Let's say that I use partial clone where one directory is filtered out
through --filter=sparse:oid=XXX. Let's also say it's a directory with
big assets for a computer game.
Now, as the project progresses and new versions of assets are checked
in, I'll accumulate many version of these assets as I get new versions.
I won't need them though, because most of the time I'm interested only
in the latest version.
So my question is: is there some tool (probably similar to git lfs
prune) that will let me get rid of the blobs that I don't need anymore?
I couldn't find information about it anywhere in the docs. I vaguely
remember a mention of something like that possibly being done in the
future in partial clone (or maybe promisor remote?) patch mails but I
couldn't find it again.
Best regards,
