19 years agoCreate object subdirectories on demand
Linus Torvalds [Sat, 8 Oct 2005 22:54:01 +0000 (15:54 -0700)]
Create object subdirectories on demand

This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.

As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.

Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.

With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.

This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.

[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
 to ease transition.  init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
 empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
 but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
 to 146KB.  These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
 on-demand capability.]

Allow "-u" flag to tag signing

The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing
user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email
address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name
too.

Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real
email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for
my work.

So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just
support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing,
since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus:

git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>]

Still installing the old command names.

After seeing Jeff's guide, I changed my mind about the
big-rename transition plan.  Even if Porcelains are kept up to
date, those web documents that describes older world order would
live longer and people will stumble across them via google
searches.  And who knows how many mirrored copies there are.

The backward compatible symbolic links *will* be removed before
1.0.  But that will not happen in 0.99.8.

Make logerror() and loginfo() static

logerror() and loginfo() in daemon.c are never declared and never called
from other files, therefore they should be declared static.  Found by

Use git-merge in git-pull (second try).

This again makes git-pull to use git-merge, so that different merge
strategy can be specified from the command line.  Without explicit
strategy parameter, it defaults to git-merge-resolve if only one
remote is pulled, and git-merge-octopus otherwise, to keep the
default behaviour of the command the same as the original.

Also this brings another usability measure: -n flag from the command
line, if given, is passed to git-merge to prevent it from running the
diffstat at the end of the merge.
