# Generate a listing of all paths ever used in the repository, along with the
# disk space used by the path throughout the entire history. Note that sizes
# for trees are cumulative; they include the sizes of all of the paths below
# them, in addition to the tree storage itself. All sizes are in bytes, and
# reflect git's delta and zlib compression.
#
# One caveat is that this is just the _current_ on-disk size. The on-disk size
# of each object may change if git repacks and chooses different delta bases,

# Running ":Link" anywhere will get you a link to the current file and

explanation of merge versus rebase

Rebase conflicts can sometimes be harder than merge conflicts. This is because merges look only at the end points (what you have, and they have, and the merge base). But the rebase will look through each commit of the rebased topic. This can manifest itself in two ways:

  1. You'll get more conflicts in two stretches of code that reach similar endpoints, but get there through differing paths. For example, consider this trivial example:

$ echo base >file && git add file && git commit -m base

many-ref repo

This repository has a very large number of refs, which shows some slow-down on certain git operations.

git gc --aggressive case

This is a repository that has been packed over time with "git gc", but repacks from ~245M to ~145M with "git gc --aggressive". To narrow it down, I tried different packing options. With each of the following commands, I get these resulting pack sizes:

  • git repack -ad: 246M
  • git repack -ad -f: 376M
  • git repack -ad --window=250: 246M
  • git repack -ad -f --window=250: 145M
