[PATCH 1/3] git branch: fix performance problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

'git branch' looks at _all_ the refs, and verifies them.  Which means that 
during cold-cache situations with a slow disk (and lots of tags, for 
example) it can take several very annoying seconds (7.5s according to a 
report by Carlos R.  Mafra).

This avoids most of it by simply doing the filtering before looking up
the commits, by using the "raw" version of for_each_ref.

Ok, this is just a resend of the patches I've sent out, as a proper patch 
series, with sign-offs etc.
