- Default depth changed from 1 to 3: enough overlap for delta
compression even if the remote pushes 2 commits between fetches
- Keep --depth on fetch (not just clone) so shallow stays windowed
- GCInterval default changed: 0 now means every fetch (was disabled)
- GC sequence: reflog expire → prune → gc --prune=now
Expire makes old shallow entries' objects unreachable, prune removes
them cheaply (5MB RSS), then gc delta-compresses what remains (~10MB)
- Only GC when HEAD actually changed (skip no-op fetches)
- Dropped GCAggressive (no benefit in shallow clones)
Periodically-updated shallow clone for repos used as a data source.
One Fetch verb (clone-or-pull-or-skip) drives both the Fetcher
interface and per-File handles. MaxAge gates on FETCH_HEAD mtime so
short-lived CLI invocations don't hammer the remote across process
restarts; an in-memory 1s debounce coalesces concurrent Fetches.
Hardens git invocations against argument injection: validates
branch/ref shape, rejects URLs starting with '-', and uses '--'
separators before positional args. Userinfo in URL is redacted from
error output (both args echo and git's own messages).
