OPTIONS ------- ---all:: - -The command by default packs all tags and refs that are already -packed, and leaves other refs -alone. This is because branches are expected to be actively -developed and packing their tips does not help performance. -This option causes all refs to be packed as well, with the exception -of hidden refs, broken refs, and symbolic refs. Useful for a repository -with many branches of historical interests. - ---no-prune:: - -The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs` -hierarchy after packing them. This option tells it not to. - ---auto:: - -Pack refs as needed depending on the current state of the ref database. The -behavior depends on the ref format used by the repository and may change in the -future. -+ - - "files": Loose references are packed into the `packed-refs` file - based on the ratio of loose references to the size of the - `packed-refs` file. The bigger the `packed-refs` file, the more loose - references need to exist before we repack. -+ - - "reftable": Tables are compacted such that they form a geometric - sequence. For two tables N and N+1, where N+1 is newer, this - maintains the property that N is at least twice as big as N+1. Only - tables that violate this property are compacted. - ---include <pattern>:: - -Pack refs based on a `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option -accumulate inclusion patterns. If a ref is both included in `--include` and -`--exclude`, `--exclude` takes precedence. Using `--include` will preclude all -tags from being included by default. Symbolic refs and broken refs will never -be packed. When used with `--all`, it will be a noop. Use `--no-include` to clear -and reset the list of patterns. - ---exclude <pattern>:: - -Do not pack refs matching the given `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option -accumulate exclusion patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear and reset the list of -patterns. If a ref is already packed, including it with `--exclude` will not -unpack it. -+ -When used with `--all`, pack only loose refs which do not match any of -the provided `--exclude` patterns. -+ -When used with `--include`, refs provided to `--include`, minus refs that are -provided to `--exclude` will be packed. +include::pack-refs-options.adoc[] BUGS |
