[PATCH] Don't allow contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir to trash...
Recently I found that doing a sequence like the following: git-new-workdir a b ... git-new-workdir a b by accident will cause a (and now also b) to have an infinite cycle in its refs directory. This is caused by git-new-workdir trying to create the "refs" symlink over again, only during the second time it is being created within a's refs directory and is now also pointing back at a's refs. This causes confusion in git as suddenly branches are named things like "refs/refs/refs/refs/ref...

Re: People unaware of the importance of "git gc"?
git add? merge? rebase? No, I have a sneakier place to invoke gc. Whenever $EDITOR gets invoked. Heck, whenever git is waiting for any user input, do some gc in the background, it'd just have to be incremental so that we could pick up where we left off. Similarly, you could mix it in with git pull/push so that while we are waiting on the network, we can do some packing. Course, this wouldn't work for all repositories. -

Re: People unaware of the importance of "git gc"?
Heh. That is a really good idea. I've been thinking about doing some automatic generational style GC type repacking controls in git-gui, and doing them when git-gui is sitting idle and has not been used in the past couple of minutes. This is along the same vein of thought. I like it. Often it takes me a while to come up with a good commit message even if I am using command line commit. But git-rebase/git-am can cause a huge number of objects to be created, especially if you are pushing a l...

[PATCH] Cleanup unnecessary file modifications in t1400-upda...
Kristian Høgsberg pointed out that the two file modifications we were doing during the 'creating initial files' step are not even used within the test suite. This was actually confusing as we do not even need these changes for the tests to pass. All that really matters here is the specific commit dates are used so that these appear in the branch's reflog, and that the dates are different so that the branch will update when asked and the reflog entry is also updated. There is no need for the file ...

Re: [PATCH] allow bulk import to be packed
This needs major work to be usable. Although fast-import knows object name of each blob, being a quick-and-dirty patch, git-add does not ask for it and still computes the blob names by itself. The only thing this proof-of-concept patch buys is that the resulting object database is packed, and does not get loose objects. -

builtin commit series sent
Hi, I finally sat down and finished the last details in my git-commit.sh port and made it pass the test suite. The test suite is cruel, but awesome. There's one test that doesn't look right to me: t1400-update-ref.sh. The 'creating initial files' case does a git commit --amend and apparently expect to commit the changed contents of the file F, even though it hasn't been added to the index. Similarly, there's a git commit -F M just below it that does the same thing. I'm not sure how they pass ...
