Note that passing environment to receive-pack is very cumbersome in general, unless you know you will only use local transport via forked process pair. By the way, is USE_LOOKUP still viable these days? I think it was added long time ago as a knob to allow us to experiment, so that we can decide which codepath should survive, but if nobody has done any meaningful benchmarking since it was added, perhaps we do not need to keep the conditionally used codepath. We, who are too lazy to even try it out, do not deserve its benefit even if the experimental codepath turns out to be vastly faster. -- 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
