I doubt it -- sliding mmap() in the current git, while is a good change overall for handling really huge repos, would most likely perform poorer than the fixed mmap() in 1.4.4 series on platforms with slow mmap(), most notably on MacOS X. It _might_ be possible that turning some sliding mmap() calls into pread() makes it perform better on MacOS X. I wonder what happens it git is compiled with NO_MMAP there... - 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
