Would it be an incompatible change to add the commit date (and
perhaps the author date) to .git/info/refs? I believe that would
make it possible to dramatically (orders of magnitude) speed up the
generation of the gitweb index page, which is easily the most
expensive gitweb page to generate.
With new gitweb and new git it is not that expensive. It is now one call
to git-for-each-ref per repository.
That IS hugely expensive. On kernel.org, that is 24175 calls to git.
Do you mean you have 24k _REPOSITORIES_ served by gitweb on
kernel.org?
No, we currently have 250 repositories with a total of 24175 refs.
