1 repack.useDeltaBaseOffset::
2 By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
3 delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
4 Git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
5 protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
6 "false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the
7 native protocol are unaffected by this option.
8
9 repack.packKeptObjects::
10 If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if
11 `--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for
12 details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap
13 index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
14 `repack.writeBitmaps`).
15
16 repack.useDeltaIslands::
17 If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--delta-islands`
18 was passed. Defaults to `false`.
19
20 repack.writeBitmaps::
21 When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
22 objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
23 index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent
24 packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk
25 space and extra time spent on the initial repack. This has
26 no effect if multiple packfiles are created.
27 Defaults to true on bare repos, false otherwise.
28
29 repack.updateServerInfo::
30 If set to false, linkgit:git-repack[1] will not run
31 linkgit:git-update-server-info[1]. Defaults to true. Can be overridden
32 when true by the `-n` option of linkgit:git-repack[1].
33
34 repack.cruftWindow::
35 repack.cruftWindowMemory::
36 repack.cruftDepth::
37 repack.cruftThreads::
38 Parameters used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when generating
39 a cruft pack and the respective parameters are not given over
40 the command line. See similarly named `pack.*` configuration
41 variables for defaults and meaning.
42
43 repack.midxMustContainCruft::
44 When set to true, linkgit:git-repack[1] will unconditionally include
45 cruft pack(s), if any, in the multi-pack index when invoked with
46 `--write-midx`. When false, cruft packs are only included in the MIDX
47 when necessary (e.g., because they might be required to form a
48 reachability closure with MIDX bitmaps). Defaults to true.
49
50 repack.midxSplitFactor::
51 The factor used in the geometric merging condition when
52 compacting incremental MIDX layers during `git repack` when
53 invoked with the `--write-midx=incremental` option.
54 +
55 Adjacent layers are merged when the accumulated object count of the
56 newer layer exceeds `1/<N>` of the object count of the next deeper
57 layer. Must be at least 2. Defaults to 2.
58
59 repack.midxNewLayerThreshold::
60 The minimum number of packs in the tip MIDX layer before those
61 packs are considered as candidates for geometric repacking
62 during `git repack --write-midx=incremental`.
63 +
64 When the tip layer has fewer packs than this threshold, those packs are
65 excluded from the geometric repack entirely, and are thus left
66 unmodified. Must be at least 1. Defaults to 8.
