title: 'Allow external diffs to be used conditionally'
merge_request: 25432

type: added
Allow external diffs to be used conditionally Since external diffs are likely to be a bit slower than in-database ones, add a mode that makes diffs external after they've been obsoleted by events. This should strike a balance between performance and disk space. A background cron drives the majority of migrations, since diffs become outdated through user actions. 2019-02-20 10:35:57 -05:00			`---`
