Make branch history tunable #303

Closed mnot closed 3 years ago

mnot commented 3 years ago

... currently 30 days; would be good to make this configurable (as discussed).

martinthomson commented 3 years ago

New variables added:

GHPAGES_COMMIT_TTL is the number of days worth of commits to keep on the gh-pages branch.

GHPAGES_BRANCH_TTL is the number of days to retain a directory on gh-pages after the corresponding branch has been deleted. This is measured from the last change.

Both default to 30. Any number should be OK. I can't vouch for very large numbers, but 100000000 seems to work fine (at least on my machine).

It works fine so long as you don't actually have history that old, anyway! We originally added this feature because the history of gh-pages had become the majority of a very large repo. 275k years of history will get... sizeable if changes are frequent.
