git-unpack-objects: start parsing the actual packed data

[thirdparty/git.git] / git-deltafy-script

#!/bin/bash

# Example script to deltify an entire GIT repository based on the commit list.
# The most recent version of a file is the reference and previous versions
# are made delta against the best earlier version available. And so on for
# successive versions going back in time.  This way the increasing delta
# overhead is pushed towards older versions of any given file.
#
# The -d argument allows to provide a limit on the delta chain depth.
# If 0 is passed then everything is undeltafied.  Limiting the delta
# depth is meaningful for subsequent access performance to old revisions.
# A value of 16 might be a good compromize between performance and good
# space saving.  Current default is unbounded.
#
# The --max-behind=30 argument is passed to git-mkdelta so to keep
# combinations and memory usage bounded a bit.  If you have lots of memory
# and CPU power you may remove it (or set to 0) to let git-mkdelta find the
# best delta match regardless of the number of revisions for a given file.
# You can also make the value smaller to make it faster and less
# memory hungry.  A value of 5 ought to still give pretty good results.
# When set to 0 or ommitted then look behind is unbounded.  Note that
# git-mkdelta might die with a segmentation fault in that case if it
# runs out of memory.  Note that the GIT repository will still be consistent
# even if git-mkdelta dies unexpectedly.
