Subject: reducing prune sync()s
Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 16:57:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080529205743.GC17123@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi -
In at least builtin-prune-packed.c, builtin-prune.c, and
guilt-repack.sh, there is an unconditional sync call. On a machine
with lots of dirty disk data, writing it to some slow device, this
sync can take a long time.
Would there be interest in making this sync disableable with
git-config? Or perhaps having the blanket sync be replaced a
list of fsync()s for only the relevant git repository files?
