| # Hackathon Outcome: Porting MIDX files to JGit |
| |
| During the Hackathon I'll be trying to port MultiPack Bitmap Index (MIDX) |
| to the JGit codebase. Bitmap indexes are a crucial optimization for a performant |
| repository, unfortunately they currently work only for a single pack-file. |
| This means that, currently, other optimizations like `git exp-roll` (exponential |
| roll), aren't as effective as they could be as using them will invalidate the |
| current bitmap capabilities. |
| |
| Introducing MIDX bitmaps to the JGit codebase will enable much greater |
| flexibility for SCM managers all around the world. |
| |
| In this talk I'll expose the progress we made during the Hackathon and outline |
| the next steps to make MIDX files a reality in JGit. |
