Notable alternatives to this design include: - - The location of the per-object mtime data, and - - Storing unreachable objects in multiple cruft packs. + - The location of the per-object mtime data. On the location of mtime data, a new auxiliary file tied to the pack was chosen to avoid complicating the `.idx` format. If the `.idx` format were ever to gain support for optional chunks of data, it may make sense to consolidate the `.mtimes` format into the `.idx` itself. -Storing unreachable objects among multiple cruft packs (e.g., creating a new -cruft pack during each repacking operation including only unreachable objects -which aren't already stored in an earlier cruft pack) is significantly more -complicated to construct, and so aren't pursued here. The obvious drawback to -the current implementation is that the entire cruft pack must be re-written from -scratch. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
