git - Team Foundation Server 2015 (tfs2015) 在 orgin/remote 上运行 git gc --prune=now

Question

有没有办法git gc --prune=now在远程 Team Foundation Server 2015 (tfs2015) 上运行？或者是在git gc --prune=now本地运行然后在 tfs2015 上创建新存储库并将其推送到新远程的唯一方法，然后删除旧存储库，并将新存储库重命名为旧名称。这样做时不要忘记关闭喜欢的提交。

See https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/congyiw/2015/12/14/why-does-cloning-from-vsts-return-old-unreferenced-objects/ - this is a known limitation of TFS-hosted git, it doesn't have the gc command.

Microsoft provides two workarounds:

• clone the repo, clean it locally, delete it from the server, create a new one and push your cleaned one to it (what you described in your question)

• don't git clone, but obtain your local repo like this:

  mkdir newRepo
  git init
  git remote add origin 
  #fetch one branch first
  git fetch origin master
  #fetch everything else
  git fetch origin
  

  which tricks TFS to actually send you only the objects you really need.

Option 1 seems to be more reasonable to me if you can afford losing your pull requests etc (e.g. if this is a relatively new repo).

Option 2 feels really bad, as any user of the repo will have to manually create their clone this way.

关于在 TFS v.Next 中发布此内容的更新并在 VSTS 中已准备就绪 https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/congyiw/2015/12/14/why-does-cloning-from-vsts-return-old- unreferenced-objects/ “更新（2017-08-09）：我们向 VSTS 推出了提交可达性位图索引，并删除了下面提到的克隆作弊。克隆将不再下载无法访问的对象！我们仍然没有真正的对象级别git gc 在服务器上，但克隆大小现在会更小。

TFS on-prem 将在 v.Next 中获得这些更改（不是在任何 TFS 2017 更新中，而是在下一个主要版本中）。正如 Brian Harry 所提到的，我们应该在几周内发布 v.Next 的候选版本。”
