Commit history disappeared

[jnb-ableton]

Hi!

Since this morning, Fork's commits view only displays the very last few commits in the history, and most of the git tree has disappeared.
Some branches are not visible at all.

I have checked that everything shows normally in other git clients (Gitk), and also tired removing the cache, application support files, and preferences (I am on a Mac). I updated Fork to the latest (2.40.3) just in case, with no luck.

Everything worked just fine yesterday. I am a bit clueless about what went wrong and what to do. Is this a know issue? (this looks like possibly related to https://github.com/fork-dev/Tracker/issues/1401)

Thanks!

Sorry I should have mentioned I also tried 2.40.4 after reading that thread but it didn't solve the issue for me.

(In my case this is not about commit messages as in the other ticket, but the the actual commit history)

Can you show a screenshot, please? Or can you send it (and blur sensitive info) to support@fork.dev?

Do you use branch filter on the sidebar? Is it possible you set filter (or hide) some branch?

Yes, I do use filters a lot. Without a filter I see some of the repository (but not all of it). With filters I see what seems to be the very late history of filtered ranches (1 day or so), or nothing.

Here is an example of how it looks (history cut earlier than today)

[DanPristupov]

I see now. Yes, you was right suspecting #1401.

Did you try to increase the max commit count in the command line? Please notice that the command must be defaults write com.DanPristupov.Fork maxCommitCount 150000, i.e. the capitalization is important.

[jnb-ableton]

Ha! I did try that but indeed, had the captitalization wrong! That seems to do the trick!

I am wondering why this suddenly happened today though, and why only the very top of the history remained visible like this 🤔

MacOS changed behavior recently. Previously it was case-insensitive. I updated the capitalization in the original post you mentioned, so it wasn't your fault.

Someone pushed a lot of commits to some other branch, I guess.

BTW, we are going to increase the default limit soon. Internally Fork becomes faster and now we can afford it :).

[jnb-ableton]

Thanks a lot. Fork is great!

[mju-ableton]

Indeed, fork is great! Thanks for providing the above solution!

[DanPristupov]

In Fork 2.41 we increased the commit limit from 50,000 to 100,000 commits. If you changed the limit manually, no additional action is needed.

Hello,

I'm having this same problem where the commit messages are not displaying.

I am using Fork version 2.41.2.

Also, I checked total number of commits in this repo:

$ git rev-list --all --count 1480

No where near the 50k limit mentioned above.

@kuthair it's a different problem. It's https://github.com/fork-dev/Tracker/issues/2075. Please send me the log ~/Library/Logs/Fork.log to support@fork.dev.

@kuthair it's a different problem. It's #2075. Please send me the log ~/Library/Logs/Fork.log to support@fork.dev.

Ahh ok, I saw that other one too, but I wasn't sure which one to post under. Thanks.
