I actually wanted something like this just yesterday. It looks like you are mainly tracing the execution of programs. Would it make sense to just tie this to regular trace_* calls, and if GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE is set, add a timestamp to each line? Then we would not need to add separate trace_command_performance calls, and other parts of the code that are already instrumented with GIT_TRACE would get the feature for free. -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
