I kind of expected this one to cook in next for a bit while people decided whether the larger hashes were irritating or not. Despite working on the implementation, I'm on the fence myself. I'd kind of hoped people would play with core.disambiguate and the hints and see if they still actually wanted to bump the default abbrev (and how aggressively to do so; if core.disambiguate means most of the ambiguity is just between commits, that cuts the number of collision-interesting objects by an order of magnitude). > * jk/pack-objects-optim-mru (2016-08-11) 4 commits > (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-21 at 97b919bdbd) > + pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs > + pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase > + sha1_file: make packed_object_info public > + provide an initializer for "struct object_info" > > Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11 > > "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to > spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to > the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used > packfile first. > > Will hold to see if people scream. This has been in next for 6 weeks. Is it time to consider graduating it? -Peff
