Class HackPushNegotiateHook

java.lang.Object

com.google.gerrit.server.git.HackPushNegotiateHook

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.eclipse.jgit.transport.AdvertiseRefsHook

public class HackPushNegotiateHook
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.eclipse.jgit.transport.AdvertiseRefsHook

Advertises part of history to git push clients.

This is a hack to work around the lack of negotiation in the send-pack/receive-pack wire protocol.

When the server is frequently advancing master by creating merge commits, the client may not be able to discover a common ancestor during push. Attempting to push will re-upload a very large amount of history. This hook hacks in a fake negotiation replacement by walking history and sending recent commits as ".have" lines in the wire protocol, allowing the client to find a common ancestor.
