It's annoying not to be able to put comments and empty lines in the skipList, when e.g. keeping a big central list of commits to skip in /etc/gitconfig, which was my motivation for 1362df0d41 ("fetch: implement fetch.fsck.*", 2018-07-27).
Implement that, and document what version of Git this was changed in, since this on-disk format can be expected to be used by multiple versions of git. There is no notable performance impact from this change, using the test setup described a couple of commist back: Test HEAD~ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1450.3: fsck with 0 skipped bad commits 7.81(7.42+0.39) 7.72(7.34+0.38) -1.2% 1450.5: fsck with 1 skipped bad commits 7.75(7.36+0.38) 7.66(7.26+0.39) -1.2% 1450.7: fsck with 10 skipped bad commits 7.81(7.43+0.38) 7.70(7.30+0.39) -1.4% 1450.9: fsck with 100 skipped bad commits 7.85(7.42+0.42) 7.73(7.31+0.41) -1.5% 1450.11: fsck with 1000 skipped bad commits 7.81(7.43+0.38) 7.84(7.46+0.38) +0.4% 1450.13: fsck with 10000 skipped bad commits 7.87(7.47+0.40) 7.86(7.46+0.40) -0.1% 1450.15: fsck with 100000 skipped bad commits 7.77(7.39+0.38) 7.83(7.48+0.34) +0.8% 1450.17: fsck with 1000000 skipped bad commits 7.17(6.92+0.24) 7.11(6.85+0.26) -0.8% Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <ava...@gmail.com> --- Documentation/config.txt | 4 ++-- fsck.c | 2 ++ t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh | 6 +++--- 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/config.txt b/Documentation/config.txt index ebaa044689..824634c412 100644 --- a/Documentation/config.txt +++ b/Documentation/config.txt @@ -1712,8 +1712,8 @@ will only cause git to warn. fsck.skipList:: The path to a list of object names (i.e. one SHA-1 per line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should - be ignored.
