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.
