Subject: Garbage collection creates many unpacked objects.
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:30:42 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201110101730.43302.mfick@codeaurora.org> (raw)
If I clone linus' kernel, delete all the tags, and then run
git gc, it ends up expanding into about 5K of unpacked
objects. The .git size goes from 473M to 511M. This seems
a bit strange no? Shouldn't gcing yield a smaller repo an
fewer unpacked refs?
If I do this on our internal kernel repo (which has 2Ktags),
it gets much more pathological, it expands to about 1M
objects and grows to about 7G!!!
This seems to happen with all versions which I tested,
1.6.0, 1.7.6 and 1.7.7
Any thoughts?
