This seems to be because I'm now on 'pu' as of a day or two ago in
order to test the abbrev logic, but lookie here:
time git ls-remote ra.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux
.. shows all the branches and tags ..
real 0m0.655s
user 0m0.011s
sys 0m0.004s
so the remote is fast to connect to, and with network connection
overhead and everything, it's just over half a second. But then:
time git push ra.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux
and it just sits there, and it's at 100% CPU the whole time, until it says:
Everything up-to-date
real 1m7.307s
user 1m2.761s
sys 0m0.475s
Whaa? It took a *minute* of CPU time to decide that everything was up-to-date?
That's just not right. The branch is entirely up-to-date:
git rev-parse HEAD
af79ad2b1f337a00aa150b993635b10bc68dc842
git ls-remote ra.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux master
af79ad2b1f337a00aa150b993635b10bc68dc842 refs/heads/master
so there should be no need for any history walking. But it sure is
doing *something*. A minute of CPU time on my machine is actually a
pretty damn big deal.
Looking at the trace, there's no IO - there's no back-and-forth about
"I have this, do you have it?" or anything like that. The system call
trace is just a lot of allocations, which I think means that "git
push" is walking a lot of objects but not doing anything useful.
I bisected it to commit 60cd66f "push: change submodule default to
check", which makes little sense since I have no submodules, but there
you go.. Apparently RECURSE_SUBMODULES_CHECK is just terminally
broken.
