Subject: [PATCH v2] Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune'
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:22:02 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0711291519030.27959@racer.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <474ECE2A.9050700@viscovery.net>


Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.

This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time.  For example, by

	git prune --expire 14.days

you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).

The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

	Good idea!
