NAME¶
git-commit-graph - Write and verify Git commit-graph files
SYNOPSIS¶
git commit-graph verify [--object-dir <dir>] [--shallow] [--[no-]progress] git commit-graph write [--object-dir <dir>] [--append]
[--split[=<strategy>]] [--reachable | --stdin-packs | --stdin-commits]
[--changed-paths] [--[no-]max-new-filters <n>] [--[no-]progress]
<split options>
DESCRIPTION¶
Manage the serialized commit-graph file.
OPTIONS¶
--object-dir
--[no-]progress
COMMANDS¶
write
With the --stdin-packs option, generate the new commit graph by walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined with --stdin-commits or --reachable.)
With the --stdin-commits option, generate the new commit graph by walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. OIDs that resolve to non-commits (either directly, or by peeling tags) are silently ignored. OIDs that are malformed, or do not exist generate an error. (Cannot be combined with --stdin-packs or --reachable.)
With the --reachable option, generate the new commit graph by walking commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with --stdin-commits or --stdin-packs.)
With the --append option, include all commits that are present in the existing commit-graph file.
With the --changed-paths option, compute and write information about the paths changed between a commit and its first parent. This operation can take a while on large repositories. It provides significant performance gains for getting history of a directory or a file with git log -- <path>. If this option is given, future commit-graph writes will automatically assume that this option was intended. Use --no-changed-paths to stop storing this data.
With the --max-new-filters=<n> option, generate at most n new Bloom filters (if --changed-paths is specified). If n is -1, no limit is enforced. Only commits present in the new layer count against this limit. To retroactively compute Bloom filters over earlier layers, it is advised to use --split=replace. Overrides the commitGraph.maxNewFilters configuration.
With the --split[=<strategy>] option, write the commit-graph as a chain of multiple commit-graph files stored in <dir>/info/commit-graphs. Commit-graph layers are merged based on the strategy and other splitting options. The new commits not already in the commit-graph are added in a new "tip" file. This file is merged with the existing file if the following merge conditions are met:
Finally, if --expire-time=<datetime> is not specified, let datetime be the current time. After writing the split commit-graph, delete all unused commit-graph whose modified times are older than datetime.
verify
With the --shallow option, only check the tip commit-graph file in a chain of split commit-graphs.
EXAMPLES¶
$ git commit-graph write
$ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs
$ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
$ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
