Hi Nico, I had an experiment on speeding up "rev-list --all". If I cache sha-1 of tree and parent, and committer date of single-parent commits, in binary form, rev-list can be sped up significantly. On linux-2.6.git, it goes from 14s to 4s (2s to 0.8 for git.git). Profiling shows that commit parsing (get_sha1_hex, parse_commit_date) dominates rev-list time. >From what I remember, pack v4 is mainly about changing tree representation so that we can traverse object DAG as fast as possible. Do you do anything to commit representation too? Maybe it's worth storing the above info along with the compressed commit objects in pack to shave some more seconds. By the way, is latest packv4 code available somewhere to fetch? -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
