builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>' Introduce a command-line flag to specify the maximum number of new Bloom filters that a 'git commit-graph write' is willing to compute from scratch. Prior to this patch, a commit-graph write with '--changed-paths' would compute Bloom filters for all selected commits which haven't already been computed (i.e., by a previous commit-graph write with '--split' such that a roll-up or replacement is performed). This behavior can cause prohibitively-long commit-graph writes for a variety of reasons: * There may be lots of filters whose diffs take a long time to generate (for example, they have close to the maximum number of changes, diffing itself takes a long time, etc). * Old-style commit-graphs (which encode filters with too many entries as not having been computed at all) cause us to waste time recomputing filters that appear to have not been computed only to discover that they are too-large. This can make the upper-bound of the time it takes for 'git commit-graph write --changed-paths' to be rather unpredictable. To make this command behave more predictably, introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>' to allow computing at most '<n>' Bloom filters from scratch. This lets "computing" already-known filters proceed quickly, while bounding the number of slow tasks that Git is willing to do.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
