I was interested in an update about the commit graph feature and especially to know if the way to use it had been simplified in v2.19.0, so I took a look at the Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt and Documentation/git-commit-graph.txt, but I didn't find anything there except the `--reachable` option. So I thought that integrating with gc was still something that needed to be worked on. > Now that this feature is shipped in Git 2.19.0, this no longer belongs in > "Future Work". This is great! It would be nice though to have something in Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt and perhaps also Documentation/git-commit-graph.txt about it, as it is easy to overlook the gc.writeCommitGraph documentation in Documentation/config.txt. >> The "EXAMPLES" section still contains: >> >> * Write a graph file containing all reachable commits. >> + >> >> $ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits >> >> >> I wonder if this should have been changed to use `--reachable`. >> >> Thanks! > > This is a good idea. I can work on that. Thanks, Christian.

It would be nice if the "Future Work" section of Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt had something about integration with 'git gc'. Hi Christian, I'm a bit confused about this statement, because at the point in time of this patch we had a spot in the "Future Work" section about automatically updating the graph _somewhere_. The "future integration with 'git gc'" I refer to in this patch is implemented in PATCH 21/22. In PATCH 22/22 we removed this section from the technical doc: - -- The current design uses the 'commit-graph' subcommand to generate the graph. - When this feature stabilizes enough to recommend to most users, we should - add automatic graph writes to common operations that create many commits. - For example, one could compute a graph on 'clone', 'fetch', or 'repack' - commands. - Now that this feature is shipped in Git 2.19.0, this no longer belongs in "Future Work". 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.

Thanks! This is a good idea. I can work on that. Thanks, -Stolee
