Hello sir,

I know the receive.autogc is auto disabled in Gerrit 3.3 in [1]

So is there a way to make it in Gerrit 3.2 ?

As I configed as followings in jgit.config ,but with no luck.

Because packed-refs file updated when GIT PUSH done.

[receive]
autogc = false

Am I miss something?

Thank you.

This should work as advertised. receive.autogc is respected since the auto GC

feature was introduced in JGit: [1]. Gerrit's jgit.config file delegation was added

in Gerrit 3.1 release: [2].

It came into this eventhough I have upgraded Gerrit from 3.2.3 to 3.3.0... this makes no sense...

And log shows Gerrit still read configuration from Gerrit-Site/etc/jgit.config which was deleted... Very Strange.

INFO com.google.gerrit.server.git.SystemReaderInstaller : Set JGit's SystemReader to read system config from /home/work/gerrit-site/etc/jgit.config

Any suggestion is welcome.

What it makes no sense to you? Can you clarify with other words?

Who deleted the Jgit.config?

INFO com.google.gerrit.server.git.SystemReaderInstaller : Set JGit's SystemReader to read system config from /home/work/gerrit-site/etc/jgit.config

Yes, that is the expected behaviour.

Hi luca，

I upgraded Gerrit from 3.2.3 to 3.3.0 cause receive.autogc is auto disabled in Gerrit 3.3, right?

And I want to use the default jgit.config so I deleted the jgit.config in /etc/ folder.

So on my opinion receive.autogc should work with Gerrit 3.3.0 ,but no luck.

The packed-refs still updated when I do a push action.

BR.

Not exactly: Gerrit 3.3.x sets ‘receive.autogc’ into your $GERRIT_SITE/etc/jgit.config. However, if you change the setting or remove it, it won’t be effective anymore and the autogc will continue to be enabled.

And I want to use the default jgit.config so I deleted the jgit.config in /etc/ folder.

You mean $GERRIT_SITE/etc/jgit.config?

If yes, then you will have autogc enabled again, which is the default in JGit.

HTH

Luca.
