[PATCH 38/38] packv4-create: add a command line argument to limit tree copy sequences

From

Date
Sep 5, 2013, 06:20 UTC
Message-ID

In-Reply-To
<1378362001-1738-1-git-send-email-nico@fluxnic.net>

Because there is no delta object cache for tree objects yet, walking tree entries may result in a lot of recursion.

Let's add --min-tree-copy=N where N is the minimum number of copied entries in a single copy sequence allowed for encoding tree deltas. The default is 1. Specifying 0 disables tree deltas entirely.

This allows for experiments with the delta width and see the influence on pack size vs runtime access cost.
