After updating the to the tip I noticed there was a performance difference. I investigated and found two reasons: 1) msysgit's version doesn't export files twice, I've now implemented the same 2) msysgit's version uses a very simple algorithm to find out file changes This second point causes msysgit to miss some file changes. Using the same algorithm I get the same performance, but the output is not correct. Here's after the latest updates: Performance counter stats for 'git clone hg::~/dev/hg-clean hg-clean-5': 288338.286545 task-clock # 1.299 CPUs utilized 46,441 context-switches # 0.161 K/sec 6,098 CPU-migrations # 0.021 K/sec 509,600 page-faults # 0.002 M/sec 518,370,729,897 cycles # 1.798 GHz 204,476,102,906 stalled-cycles-frontend # 39.45% frontend cycles idle <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 726,005,034,102 instructions # 1.40 insns per cycle # 0.28 stalled cycles per insn 127,662,400,651 branches # 442.752 M/sec 6,758,976,722 branch-misses # 5.29% of all branches 222.020233009 seconds time elapsed Which is taking roughly 60% more time than msysgit, but the output is actually correct.
