breakfix: large repositories

[bertvannuffelen]

Describe the issue

I have a repository with a large history.
Namely https://github.com/Informatievlaanderen/OSLO-Generated.git

When inspecting the git pulling process, and the logs then

1. the repo gets pulled (I see the /tmp/mygit/.git directory growing) but no files are shown in the /tmp/mygit
2. the startup of caddy is stalled (probably for some processing is happening)

{"level":"info","ts":1677500520.008053,"msg":"using provided configuration","config_file":"/config/Caddyfile","config_adapter":""}
{"level":"warn","ts":1677500520.009864,"msg":"Caddyfile input is not formatted; run the 'caddy fmt' command to fix inconsistencies","adapter":"caddyfile","file":"/config/Caddyfile","line":2}
{"level":"info","ts":1677500520.0127003,"logger":"admin","msg":"admin endpoint started","address":"localhost:2019","enforce_origin":false,"origins":["//localhost:2019","//[::1]:2019","//127.0.0.1:2019"]}
{"level":"info","ts":1677500520.0130904,"logger":"git","msg":"provisioning app instance","app":"git"}

Configuration

{
        auto_https off

        order request_id before header
        order git before respond



        git {
                repo mygit {
                        base_dir /tmp
                        url  {$REPOSITORY}
                        branch {$BRANCH}
                        depth 1
                        post pull exec {
                            name Pager
                            command /bin/echo
                            args "pulled repo"
                            }
                }
        }
}

Expected behavior

For smaller sized repositories the stalled processing is followed by logs like

 {"level":"info","ts":1677500409.5293095,"logger":"http.handlers.git","msg":"validated plugin instance","instance_name":"git-mygit"}
 {"level":"info","ts":1677500409.531182,"logger":"tls","msg":"cleaning storage unit","description":"FileStorage:/data/caddy"}
 {"level":"info","ts":1677500409.5374835,"logger":"tls","msg":"finished cleaning storage units"}
 {"level":"info","ts":1677500409.5388982,"msg":"autosaved config (load with --resume flag)","file":"/config/caddy/autosave.json"}
 {"level":"info","ts":1677500409.539357,"msg":"serving initial configuration"}

And then caddy is functioning fine.

So my question is

• what is the reason for this delay (it grows in the size of the repo) ?
• What can I do about it?
