Subject: gc getting called on each git command ... what's wrong?
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 11:03:41 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=oUARfwvNFNj-_FvZdwxQgibqPOg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm running git version 1.7.0.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

As of today, almost every time I do a git command, gc is getting
invoked. This is a multi-gigabyte repository with over
half a million objects, so this takes a while ... and I'm guessing
that it shouldn't be happening anyway!

I've run an fsck (which doesn't do a gc!) and the repository looks
clean ... no output.

I have packSizeLimit set to 30M ... not sure why I did this, was
investigating something I
didn't understand.  There are 96 pack files.

Any help greatly appreciated, many thanks,

Cheers,
Geoff
