Sun Chao 3084a01e5e pack-redundant: new algorithm to find min packs
When calling `git pack-redundant --all`, if there are too many local
packs and too many redundant objects within them, the too deep iteration
of `get_permutations` will exhaust all the resources, and the process of
`git pack-redundant` will be killed.

The following script could create a repository with too many redundant
packs, and running `git pack-redundant --all` in the `test.git` repo
will die soon.

    #!/bin/sh

    repo="$(pwd)/test.git"
    work="$(pwd)/test"
    i=1
    max=199

    if test -d "$repo" || test -d "$work"; then
    	echo >&2 "ERROR: '$repo' or '$work' already exist"
    	exit 1
    fi

    git init -q --bare "$repo"
    git --git-dir="$repo" config gc.auto 0
    git --git-dir="$repo" config transfer.unpackLimit 0
    git clone -q "$repo" "$work" 2>/dev/null

    while :; do
        cd "$work"
        echo "loop $i: $(date +%s)" >$i
        git add $i
        git commit -q -sm "loop $i"
        git push -q origin HEAD:master
        printf "\rCreate pack %4d/%d\t" $i $max
        if test $i -ge $max; then break; fi

        cd "$repo"
        git repack -q
        if test $(($i % 2)) -eq 0; then
            git repack -aq
            pack=$(ls -t $repo/objects/pack/*.pack | head -1)
            touch "${pack%.pack}.keep"
        fi
        i=$((i+1))
    done
    printf "\ndone\n"

To get the `min` unique pack list, we can replace the iteration in
`minimize` function with a new algorithm, and this could solve this
issue:

1. Get the unique and non_uniqe packs, add the unique packs to the
   `min` list.

2. Remove the objects of unique packs from non_unique packs, then each
   object left in the non_unique packs will have at least two copies.

3. Sort the non_unique packs by the objects' size, more objects first,
   and add the first non_unique pack to `min` list.

4. Drop the duplicated objects from other packs in the ordered
   non_unique pack list, and repeat step 3.

Some test cases will fail on Mac OS X. Mark them and will resolve in
later commit.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

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-.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://public-inbox.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):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
