From: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, displaying the git-specific bash prompt on Windows/MinGW takes quite long, long enough to be noticeable. This is mainly caused by the numerous fork()s and exec()s to create subshells and run git or other commands, which are rather expensive on Windows. This patch series eliminates many command substitutions and commands in __git_ps1() from top to bottom by replacing them with bash builtins or consolidating them. A few timing results are shown in the log message of patch 10. SZEDER Gábor (13): bash prompt: fix redirection coding style in tests bash prompt: fix here document indentation in interactive rebase test completion, bash prompt: move __gitdir() tests to completion test suite bash prompt: add a test for symbolic link symbolic refs bash prompt: return early from __git_ps1() when not in a git repository bash prompt: run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly instead of __gitdir() bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out rebase state bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out current branch bash prompt: use bash builtins to get detached HEAD abbrev. object name bash prompt: combine 'git rev-parse' executions bash prompt: use bash builtins to check stash state bash prompt: avoid command substitution when checking for untracked files bash prompt: avoid command substitution when finalizing gitstring contrib/completion/git-completion.bash | 2 - contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh | 223 ++++++++++++----------- t/t9902-completion.sh | 134 ++++++++++++++ t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh | 319 +++++++++++---------------------- 4 files changed, 345 insertions(+), 333 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1.487.g8f4672d -- 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
