Obviously 600% is a lot, but 24ms is not. However, the cost is a factor of the tree size times the number of refs. For the "homebrew.git" repository stored at GitHub, which has ~28,000 refs (mostly pointing at pull-request tips in refs/pull), the numbers are much more dramatic: fbd4a703^ fbd4a703 HEAD 0.50(0.46+0.02) 8.23(8.17+0.06) +1546.0% 0.50(0.48+0.01) +0.0% -Peff -- 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
