Subject: There should have be git gc --repack-arguments
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 19:10:43 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b35a68a1-e693-5502-7a28-a1dd8222d3a0@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I request that git gc should have --repack-arguments option. The value
of this option should be passed to git repack.
The use case is when I have very large repos (such as GCC and Linux kernel)
on a server with small RAM (1-2 GB). When doing gc on such repo, the repack
step may hang because git-repack have to create single large packfile which
can be larger than available memory (RAM+swap), so it must be necessary to
do git repack --window-memory=<desired memory usage> --max-pack-size=<desired
pack size> to create split and smaller packs instead.
There should also git config item gc.repackArguments, which have the same
effect as git gc --repack-arguments, with the option takes precedence over
the config.
