[RFC/PATCH v3] fetch: Speed up fetch by rewriting find_non_local_tags

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

 



When trying to get a list of remote tags to see if we need to fetch
any we were doing a linear search for the matching tag ref for the
tag^{} commit entries.  This proves to be incredibly slow for large
numbers of tags.  Rewrite the function so that we build up a
string_list of refs to fetch and then process that instead.

As an extreme example, for a repository with 50000 tags (and just a
single commit on a single branch), a fetch that does nothing goes from
~1m50s to ~4.1s.

Ok, so here it is ...

Sometimes I forget just much we git users value our time and resources.
