The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing. Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to use the repo_settings struct if not already using them: * 'pack.useSparse=true' * 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping' In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic would load the config option only when about to use the setting, so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings(). In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable. A test was removed that checked this die() statement executed. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

feature.*::
|
|
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
|
|
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
|
|
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
|
|
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
|
|
|
|
feature.experimental::
|
|
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
|
|
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
|
|
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
|
|
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
|
|
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
|
|
features. The new default values are:
|
|
+
|
|
* `pack.useSparse=true` uses a new algorithm when constructing a pack-file
|
|
which can improve `git push` performance in repos with many files.
|
|
+
|
|
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
|
|
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
|
|
|
|
feature.manyFiles::
|
|
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
|
|
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
|
|
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
|
|
+
|
|
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
|
|
+
|
|
* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
|
|
that mtime is working on your machine.
