[WIP: This doesn't (yet) work as advertised, see further WIP note
below]
Add a --fetch-prune option to git-fetch along with fetch.pruneTags
config option. This allows for doing:
git fetch origin -p -P
Or simply:
git config fetch.prune true &&
git config fetch.pruneTags true &&
git fetch origin
Instead of the much more verbose:
git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
'+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
A use-case of git which is a pain to support now is frequent pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly. At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each
rollout, and there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks
for performance reasons.
Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:
git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch
"refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*$"
Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics we want.
See my "Re: [BUG] git remote prune removes local tags, depending on
fetch config" (87po6ahx87....@evledraar.gmail.com;
https://public-inbox.org/git/87po6ahx87....@evledraar.gmail.com/) for
more details.
[WIP: This doesn't actually work, since the implementation is to just
pretend that 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' was supplied on the
command-line, we'll consequently stop fetching any branches, since we
don't use the default refspec found in .git/config anymore
I'm not familiar enough with this code and the refspec machinery to
know if this argument injection is crazy, and how to tell it to *also*
do whatever it's doing by default]
