1284<div class="sectionbody">
1285<div class="paragraph"><p>When possible, <code>pack-objects</code> tries to reuse existing on-disk deltas to
1286avoid having to search for new ones on the fly. This is an important
1287optimization for serving fetches, because it means the server can avoid
1288inflating most objects at all and just send the bytes directly from
1289disk. This optimization can&#8217;t work when an object is stored as a delta
1290against a base which the receiver does not have (and which we are not
1291already sending). In that case the server "breaks" the delta and has to
1292find a new one, which has a high CPU cost. Therefore it&#8217;s important for
1293performance that the set of objects in on-disk delta relationships match
1294what a client would fetch.</p></div>
1295<div class="paragraph"><p>In a normal repository, this tends to work automatically. The objects
1296are mostly reachable from the branches and tags, and that&#8217;s what clients
1297fetch. Any deltas we find on the server are likely to be between objects
1298the client has or will have.</p></div>
1299<div class="paragraph"><p>But in some repository setups, you may have several related but separate
1300groups of ref tips, with clients tending to fetch those groups
1301independently. For example, imagine that you are hosting several "forks"
1302of a repository in a single shared object store, and letting clients
1303view them as separate repositories through <code>GIT_NAMESPACE</code> or separate
1304repos using the alternates mechanism. A naive repack may find that the
1305optimal delta for an object is against a base that is only found in
1306another fork. But when a client fetches, they will not have the base
1307object, and we&#8217;ll have to find a new delta on the fly.</p></div>
1308<div class="paragraph"><p>A similar situation may exist if you have many refs outside of
1309<code>refs/heads/</code> and <code>refs/tags/</code> that point to related objects (e.g.,
1310<code>refs/pull</code> or <code>refs/changes</code> used by some hosting providers). By
1311default, clients fetch only heads and tags, and deltas against objects
1312found only in those other groups cannot be sent as-is.</p></div>
1313<div class="paragraph"><p>Delta islands solve this problem by allowing you to group your refs into
1314distinct "islands". Pack-objects computes which objects are reachable
1315from which islands, and refuses to make a delta from an object <code>A</code>
1316against a base which is not present in all of <code>A</code>'s islands. This
1317results in slightly larger packs (because we miss some delta
1318opportunities), but guarantees that a fetch of one island will not have
1319to recompute deltas on the fly due to crossing island boundaries.</p></div>
1320<div class="paragraph"><p>When repacking with delta islands the delta window tends to get
1321clogged with candidates that are forbidden by the config. Repacking
1322with a big --window helps (and doesn&#8217;t take as long as it otherwise
1323might because we can reject some object pairs based on islands before
1324doing any computation on the content).</p></div>
1325<div class="paragraph"><p>Islands are configured via the <code>pack.island</code> option, which can be
1326specified multiple times. Each value is a left-anchored regular
1327expressions matching refnames. For example:</p></div>
1328<div class="listingblock">
1329<div class="content">
1330<pre><code>[pack]
1331island = refs/heads/
1332island = refs/tags/</code></pre>
1333</div></div>
1334<div class="paragraph"><p>puts heads and tags into an island (whose name is the empty string; see
1335below for more on naming). Any refs which do not match those regular
1336expressions (e.g., <code>refs/pull/123</code>) is not in any island. Any object
1337which is reachable only from <code>refs/pull/</code> (but not heads or tags) is
1338therefore not a candidate to be used as a base for <code>refs/heads/</code>.</p></div>
1339<div class="paragraph"><p>Refs are grouped into islands based on their "names", and two regexes
1340that produce the same name are considered to be in the same
1341island. The names are computed from the regexes by concatenating any
1342capture groups from the regex, with a <em>-</em> dash in between. (And if
1343there are no capture groups, then the name is the empty string, as in
1344the above example.) This allows you to create arbitrary numbers of
1345islands. Only up to 14 such capture groups are supported though.</p></div>
1346<div class="paragraph"><p>For example, imagine you store the refs for each fork in
1347<code>refs/virtual/ID</code>, where <code>ID</code> is a numeric identifier. You might then
1348configure:</p></div>
1349<div class="listingblock">
1350<div class="content">
1351<pre><code>[pack]
1352island = refs/virtual/([0-9]+)/heads/
1353island = refs/virtual/([0-9]+)/tags/
1354island = refs/virtual/([0-9]+)/(pull)/</code></pre>
1355</div></div>
1356<div class="paragraph"><p>That puts the heads and tags for each fork in their own island (named
1357"1234" or similar), and the pull refs for each go into their own
1358"1234-pull".</p></div>
1359<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that we pick a single island for each regex to go into, using "last
1360one wins" ordering (which allows repo-specific config to take precedence
1361over user-wide config, and so forth).</p></div>
