This patch didn't aim for more optimization, but it was definitely a goal not to waste what we gained by creating __gitcomp_nl() in a31e6262 (completion: optimize refs completion, 2011-10-15). However, as it turns out the new version with awk is actually faster than current master with compgen: Before: $ refs="$(for i in {0..9999} ; do echo branch$i ; done)" $ time __gitcomp_nl "$refs" real 0m0.242s user 0m0.220s sys 0m0.028s After: $ time __gitcomp_nl "$refs" real 0m0.109s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.012s -- 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
