Derrick Stolee 41abfe15d9 maintenance: add pack-refs task
It is valuable to collect loose refs into a more compressed form. This
is typically the packed-refs file, although this could be the reftable
in the future. Having packed refs can be extremely valuable in repos
with many tags or remote branches that are not modified by the local
user, but still are necessary for other queries.

For instance, with many exploded refs, commands such as

	git describe --tags --exact-match HEAD

can be very slow (multiple seconds). This command in particular is used
by terminal prompts to show when a detatched HEAD is pointing to an
existing tag, so having it be slow causes significant delays for users.

Add a new 'pack-refs' maintenance task. It runs 'git pack-refs --all
--prune' to move loose refs into a packed form. For now, that is the
packed-refs file, but could adjust to other file formats in the future.

This is the first of several sub-tasks of the 'gc' task that could be
extracted to their own tasks. In this process, we should not change the
behavior of the 'gc' task since that remains the default way to keep
repositories maintained. Creating a new task for one of these sub-tasks
only provides more customization options for those choosing to not use
the 'gc' task. It is certainly possible to have both the 'gc' and
'pack-refs' tasks enabled and run regularly. While they may repeat
effort, they do not conflict in a destructive way.

The 'auto_condition' function pointer is left NULL for now. We could
extend this in the future to have a condition check if pack-refs should
be run during 'git maintenance run --auto'.

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-<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):

  • 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
