[PATCH v2.5] Make git prune remove temporary packs that look like write failures
From: David Steven Tweed <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:11
Write errors when repacking (eg, due to out-of-space conditions) can leave temporary packs (and possibly other files beginning with "tmp_") lying around which no existing codepath removes and which aren't obvious to the casual user. These can also be multi-megabyte files wasting noticeable space. Unfortunately there's no way to definitely tell in builtin-prune that a tmp_ file is not being used by a concurrent process, such as a fetch. However, it is documented that pruning should only be done on a quiet repository and --expire is honoured (using code from Johannes Schindelin, along with a test case he wrote) so that its safety is the same as that of loose object pruning. Since they might be signs of a problem (unlike orphaned loose objects) the names of any removed files are printed. Signed-off-by: David Tweed (david.tweed@gmail.com) --- This version incorporates all the agreed with changes from the previous version, and includes Johannes Schindelin's modifications and also his test. If you want to change the attribution lines to be him that's fine.
