NAME
git-pack-refs - Pack heads and tags for efficient repository
access
SYNOPSIS
git pack-refs [--all] [--no-prune]
DESCRIPTION
Traditionally, tips of branches and tags (collectively known
as refs) were stored one file per ref under $GIT_DIR/refs
directory. While many branch tips tend to be updated often,
most tags and some branch tips are never updated. When a
repository has hundreds or thousands of tags, this
one-file-per-ref format both wastes storage and hurts
performance.
This command is used to solve the storage and performance
problem by stashing the refs in a single file,
$GIT_DIR/packed-refs. When a ref is missing from the
traditional $GIT_DIR/refs hierarchy, it is looked up in this
file and used if found.
Subsequent updates to branches always create new files under
$GIT_DIR/refs hierarchy.
A recommended practice to deal with a repository with too
many refs is to pack its refs with --all --prune once, and
occasionally run git pack-refs --prune. Tags are by
definition stationary and are not expected to change. Branch
heads will be packed with the initial pack-refs --all, but
only the currently active branch heads will become unpacked,
and the next pack-refs (without --all) will leave them
unpacked.
OPTIONS
--all
The command by default packs all tags and refs that are
already packed, and leaves other refs alone. This is
because branches are expected to be actively developed
and packing their tips does not help performance. This
option causes branch tips to be packed as well. Useful
for a repository with many branches of historical
interests.
--no-prune
The command usually removes loose refs under
$GIT_DIR/refs hierarchy after packing them. This option
tells it not to.
