Hi
I have recently migrated a fairly large project from CVS to Git.
One of the issues we're having is the blame/annotate performance.
The repository contains +650k commits total, of which ~300k are on
master. (raw size = ~8GB)
Running blame on one of the oldest files takes over 30 seconds.
This is on a fairly beefy (server) machine with lots of ram and the
repository on a ramdisk. Running git 2.5.2
cvs annotate of the same file (over the network) is ready in 0.8 seconds.
blame/annotate is a frequently used operation, ranging between 5 to 20
usages a day per developer.
I have two questions
1) Is there a way to speed this up (in git)? eg: can it run multi
threaded? build pre-cached blame views?
2) I was thinking to work around the issue and use gitweb
blame_incremental and pre-populate the cache.
If you can think of any other (short term) solutions I would really like
to hear them.
Thank you
- Jan
