= Git bundle v2 format
|
|
|
|
The Git bundle format is a format that represents both refs and Git objects.
|
|
|
|
== Format
|
|
|
|
We will use ABNF notation to define the Git bundle format. See
|
|
protocol-common.txt for the details.
|
|
|
|
A v2 bundle looks like this:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
bundle = signature *prerequisite *reference LF pack
|
|
signature = "# v2 git bundle" LF
|
|
|
|
prerequisite = "-" obj-id SP comment LF
|
|
comment = *CHAR
|
|
reference = obj-id SP refname LF
|
|
|
|
pack = ... ; packfile
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
A v3 bundle looks like this:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
bundle = signature *capability *prerequisite *reference LF pack
|
|
signature = "# v3 git bundle" LF
|
|
|
|
capability = "@" key ["=" value] LF
|
|
prerequisite = "-" obj-id SP comment LF
|
|
comment = *CHAR
|
|
reference = obj-id SP refname LF
|
|
key = 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")
|
|
value = *(%01-09 / %0b-FF)
|
|
|
|
pack = ... ; packfile
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== Semantics
|
|
|
|
A Git bundle consists of several parts.
|
|
|
|
* "Capabilities", which are only in the v3 format, indicate functionality that
|
|
the bundle requires to be read properly.
|
|
|
|
* "Prerequisites" lists the objects that are NOT included in the bundle and the
|
|
reader of the bundle MUST already have, in order to use the data in the
|
|
bundle. The objects stored in the bundle may refer to prerequisite objects and
|
|
anything reachable from them (e.g. a tree object in the bundle can reference
|
|
a blob that is reachable from a prerequisite) and/or expressed as a delta
|
|
against prerequisite objects.
|
|
|
|
* "References" record the tips of the history graph, iow, what the reader of the
|
|
bundle CAN "git fetch" from it.
|
|
|
|
* "Pack" is the pack data stream "git fetch" would send, if you fetch from a
|
|
repository that has the references recorded in the "References" above into a
|
|
repository that has references pointing at the objects listed in
|
|
"Prerequisites" above.
|
|
|
|
In the bundle format, there can be a comment following a prerequisite obj-id.
|
|
This is a comment and it has no specific meaning. The writer of the bundle MAY
|
|
put any string here. The reader of the bundle MUST ignore the comment.
|
|
|
|
=== Note on the shallow clone and a Git bundle
|
|
|
|
Note that the prerequisites does not represent a shallow-clone boundary. The
|
|
semantics of the prerequisites and the shallow-clone boundaries are different,
|
|
and the Git bundle v2 format cannot represent a shallow clone repository.
|
|
|
|
== Capabilities
|
|
|
|
Because there is no opportunity for negotiation, unknown capabilities cause 'git
|
|
bundle' to abort. The only known capability is `object-format`, which specifies
|
|
the hash algorithm in use, and can take the same values as the
|
|
`extensions.objectFormat` configuration value.
