16 | DESCRIPTION | |
17 | ----------- | |
18 | ||
4c399442 | 19 | Manage the serialized commit-graph file. |

22 | OPTIONS | |
23 | ------- | |
24 | --object-dir:: | |
4c399442 | 25 | Use given directory for the location of packfiles and commit-graph |
f237c8b6 | 26 | file. This parameter exists to specify the location of an alternate |
d59a9168 | 27 | that only has the objects directory, not a full `.git` directory. The |
c2bc6e6a | 28 | commit-graph file is expected to be in the `<dir>/info` directory and |
0bd52e27 TB |
29 | the packfiles are expected to be in `<dir>/pack`. If the directory |
30 | could not be made into an absolute path, or does not match any known | |
31 | object directory, `git commit-graph ...` will exit with non-zero | |
32 | status. | |
f237c8b6 | 33 | |
73716122 GS |
34 | --[no-]progress:: |
35 | Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified, progress is | |
36 | shown if standard error is connected to a terminal. | |

38 | COMMANDS | |
39 | -------- | |
40 | 'write':: | |
41 | ||
4c399442 | 42 | Write a commit-graph file based on the commits found in packfiles. |
049d51a2 DS |
43 | + |
44 | With the `--stdin-packs` option, generate the new commit graph by | |
3d5df01b | 45 | walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined |
59fb8770 | 46 | with `--stdin-commits` or `--reachable`.) |
3d5df01b DS |
47 | + |
48 | With the `--stdin-commits` option, generate the new commit graph by | |
49 | walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list | |
50 | of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. (Cannot be combined with | |
59fb8770 DS |
51 | `--stdin-packs` or `--reachable`.) |
52 | + | |
53 | With the `--reachable` option, generate the new commit graph by walking | |
54 | commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with `--stdin-commits` | |
55 | or `--stdin-packs`.) | |
7547b95b DS |
56 | + |
57 | With the `--append` option, include all commits that are present in the | |
58 | existing commit-graph file. | |
c2bc6e6a | 59 | + |
d38e07b8 GS |
60 | With the `--changed-paths` option, compute and write information about the |
61 | paths changed between a commit and it's first parent. This operation can | |
62 | take a while on large repositories. It provides significant performance gains | |
63 | for getting history of a directory or a file with `git log -- <path>`. | |
64 | + | |
4f027355 TB |
65 | With the `--split[=<strategy>]` option, write the commit-graph as a |
66 | chain of multiple commit-graph files stored in | |
67 | `<dir>/info/commit-graphs`. Commit-graph layers are merged based on the | |
68 | strategy and other splitting options. The new commits not already in the | |
69 | commit-graph are added in a new "tip" file. This file is merged with the | |
70 | existing file if the following merge conditions are met: | |
fdbde82f | 71 | * If `--split=no-merge` is specified, a merge is never performed, and |
8a6ac287 TB |
72 | the remaining options are ignored. `--split=replace` overwrites the |
73 | existing chain with a new one. A bare `--split` defers to the remaining | |
74 | options. (Note that merging a chain of commit graphs replaces the | |
75 | existing chain with a length-1 chain where the first and only | |
fdbde82f | 76 | incremental holds the entire graph). |
c2bc6e6a DS |
77 | + |
78 | * If `--size-multiple=<X>` is not specified, let `X` equal 2. If the new | |
79 | tip file would have `N` commits and the previous tip has `M` commits and | |
80 | `X` times `N` is greater than `M`, instead merge the two files into a | |
81 | single file. | |
82 | + | |
83 | * If `--max-commits=<M>` is specified with `M` a positive integer, and the | |
84 | new tip file would have more than `M` commits, then instead merge the new | |
85 | tip with the previous tip. | |
86 | + | |
87 | Finally, if `--expire-time=<datetime>` is not specified, let `datetime` | |
88 | be the current time. After writing the split commit-graph, delete all | |
89 | unused commit-graph whose modified times are older than `datetime`. | |

91 | 'verify':: |
92 | ||
93 | Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the object | |
94 | database. Used to check for corrupted data. | |
3da4b609 DS |
95 | + |
96 | With the `--shallow` option, only check the tip commit-graph file in | |
97 | a chain of split commit-graphs. | |
