GIT-COMMIT-GRAPH(1)		  Git Manual		   GIT-COMMIT-GRAPH(1)

NAME
       git-commit-graph	- Write	and verify Git commit-graph files

SYNOPSIS
       git commit-graph	verify [--object-dir <dir>] [--shallow]	[--[no-]progress]
       git commit-graph	write <options>	[--object-dir <dir>] [--[no-]progress]

DESCRIPTION
       Manage the serialized commit-graph file.

OPTIONS
       --object-dir
	   Use given directory for the location	of packfiles and commit-graph
	   file. This parameter	exists to specify the location of an alternate
	   that	only has the objects directory,	not a full .git	directory. The
	   commit-graph	file is	expected to be in the <dir>/info directory and
	   the packfiles are expected to be in <dir>/pack. If the directory
	   could not be	made into an absolute path, or does not	match any
	   known object	directory, git commit-graph ...	 will exit with
	   non-zero status.

       --[no-]progress
	   Turn	progress on/off	explicitly. If neither is specified, progress
	   is shown if standard	error is connected to a	terminal.

COMMANDS
       write
	   Write a commit-graph	file based on the commits found	in packfiles.

	   With	the --stdin-packs option, generate the new commit graph	by
	   walking objects only	in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be
	   combined with --stdin-commits or --reachable.)

	   With	the --stdin-commits option, generate the new commit graph by
	   walking commits starting at the commits specified in	stdin as a
	   list	of OIDs	in hex,	one OID	per line. OIDs that resolve to
	   non-commits (either directly, or by peeling tags) are silently
	   ignored. OIDs that are malformed, or	do not exist generate an
	   error. (Cannot be combined with --stdin-packs or --reachable.)

	   With	the --reachable	option,	generate the new commit	graph by
	   walking commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with
	   --stdin-commits or --stdin-packs.)

	   With	the --append option, include all commits that are present in
	   the existing	commit-graph file.

	   With	the --changed-paths option, compute and	write information
	   about the paths changed between a commit and	its first parent. This
	   operation can take a	while on large repositories. It	provides
	   significant performance gains for getting history of	a directory or
	   a file with git log -- <path>.

	   With	the --split[=<strategy>] option, write the commit-graph	as a
	   chain of multiple commit-graph files	stored in
	   <dir>/info/commit-graphs. Commit-graph layers are merged based on
	   the strategy	and other splitting options. The new commits not
	   already in the commit-graph are added in a new "tip"	file. This
	   file	is merged with the existing file if the	following merge
	   conditions are met:

	   o   If --split=no-merge is specified, a merge is never performed,
	       and the remaining options are ignored.  --split=replace
	       overwrites the existing chain with a new	one. A bare --split
	       defers to the remaining options.	(Note that merging a chain of
	       commit graphs replaces the existing chain with a	length-1 chain
	       where the first and only	incremental holds the entire graph).

	   o   If --size-multiple=<X> is not specified,	let X equal 2. If the
	       new tip file would have N commits and the previous tip has M
	       commits and X times N is	greater	than M,	instead	merge the two
	       files into a single file.

	   o   If --max-commits=<M> is specified with M	a positive integer,
	       and the new tip file would have more than M commits, then
	       instead merge the new tip with the previous tip.

	       Finally,	if --expire-time=<datetime> is not specified, let
	       datetime	be the current time. After writing the split
	       commit-graph, delete all	unused commit-graph whose modified
	       times are older than datetime.

       verify
	   Read	the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the
	   object database. Used to check for corrupted	data.

	   With	the --shallow option, only check the tip commit-graph file in
	   a chain of split commit-graphs.

EXAMPLES
       o   Write a commit-graph	file for the packed commits in your local .git
	   directory.

	       $ git commit-graph write

       o   Write a commit-graph	file, extending	the current commit-graph file
	   using commits in <pack-index>.

	       $ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs

       o   Write a commit-graph	file containing	all reachable commits.

	       $ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits

       o   Write a commit-graph	file containing	all commits in the current
	   commit-graph	file along with	those reachable	from HEAD.

	       $ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
