[PATCH 1/2] core: log offset pack data accesses happened

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

 



In a workload other than "git log" (without pathspec nor any option that
causes us to inspect trees and blobs), the recency pack order is said to
cause the access jump around quite a bit. Add a hook to allow us observe
how bad it is.

"git config core.logpackaccess /var/tmp/pal.txt" will give you the log in
the specified file, one line per access, the name of the packfile and the
offset of the accessed location in the packfile. This data can be massaged
to show how large a seek is involved in between each pair of adjacent
accesses to the same packfile.
