[PATCH] refs.c: get_ref_cache: use a bucket hash

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



get_ref_cache used a linear list, which obviously is O(n^2).
Use a fixed bucket hash which just takes a factor of 100000
(~ 317^2) out of the n^2 - which is enough.

This brings 'git clean -ndx' times down from 17 minutes
to 11 seconds on one of our workspaces (which accumulated
a lot of ignored directories). Actuallly using adaptive
hashing or other structures seems overkill.
