I agreed for a second, then remembered that we don't know the final pack size until we finish writing it.. Not sure if we could estimate (cheaply) with a good accuracy though. If an object is reused, we already know its compressed size. If it's not reused and is a loose object, we could use on-disk size. It's a lot harder to estimate an not-reused, deltified object. All we have is the uncompressed size, and the size of each delta in the delta chain.. Neither gives a good hint of what the compressed size would be. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
