Stephen Connolly created SCM-784:
------------------------------------
Summary: git add may fail on *nix with *lots and lots* of files
Key: SCM-784
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-784
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Bug
Components: maven-scm-provider-git
Affects Versions: 1.9.2
Reporter: Stephen Connolly
Priority: Minor
SCM-697 has friends in Unix land too
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19354870/bash-command-line-and-input-limit
So while the limit for most unixes is a lot larger than 8k, e.g. my mac is 256k
and a lot of linux machines have a 128k limit
Aside:
{{$ expr `getconf ARG_MAX` - `env|wc -c` - `env|wc -l` \* 4 - 2048}}
will tell you your limit
There still is a limit, thus it would make sense to batch the add operation
based on the size of the command line. The batch size would ideally be
configurable with a default of 120k characters for unix and 8k characters for
windows so that windows can get some batching benefits too
