From 826ae79fca263bc2b70c54fddacb1603c5ebb9c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Cai Date: Fri, 12 May 2023 21:34:41 +0000 Subject: pack-refs: teach --exclude option to exclude refs from being packed At GitLab, we have a system that creates ephemeral internal refs that don't live long before getting deleted. Having an option to exclude certain refs from a packed-refs file allows these internal references to be deleted much more efficiently. Add an --exclude option to the pack-refs builtin, and use the ref exclusions API to exclude certain refs from being packed into the final packed-refs file Signed-off-by: John Cai Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- refs.h | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'refs.h') diff --git a/refs.h b/refs.h index 123cfa4424..46020bd335 100644 --- a/refs.h +++ b/refs.h @@ -63,6 +63,11 @@ struct worktree; #define RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE 0x02 #define RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME 0x04 +struct pack_refs_opts { + unsigned int flags; + struct ref_exclusions *exclusions; +}; + const char *refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(struct ref_store *refs, const char *refname, int resolve_flags, @@ -405,7 +410,7 @@ void warn_dangling_symrefs(FILE *fp, const char *msg_fmt, * Write a packed-refs file for the current repository. * flags: Combination of the above PACK_REFS_* flags. */ -int refs_pack_refs(struct ref_store *refs, unsigned int flags); +int refs_pack_refs(struct ref_store *refs, struct pack_refs_opts *opts); /* * Setup reflog before using.
