  • Pull and Push and Fetch (Syncing)
    • Fetch == retrieval
      • Does fetch only affect the current branch?
      • A: Fetch always retrieves everything upstream
      • Default is to bring back everything, but the refspec can adjust that
      • Git 1.7.10 == push, pull
      • pull == fetch and a merge
      • current branch
        • On: master, fetch, retrieve all, merge in master
  • Push == publishing

Git, Compression, and Deltas - An explanation

Git Compression of Blobs and Packfiles.

Many users of Git are curious about the lack of delta compression at the object (blob) level when commits are first written. This efficiency is saved until the pack file is written. Loose objects are written in compressed, but non-delta format at the time of each commit.

A simple run though of a commit sequence with only the smallest change to the image (in uncompressed TIFF format to amplify the observable behavior) aids the understanding of this deferred and different approach efficiency.

The command sequence:
