My suggestion was to have a small stand-alone C program that could do some operations that need to be really fast, such as top/applied/unapplied. It need not have a nice user interface since it's only going to be called by scripts (bash-completion and the like), and it should only handle those operations that _must- avoid the Python startup penalty. And for sanity reasons, it should share code with stgit.
There is one more case to consider - people using NFS-mounted directories. The applied/unapplied commands would be even slower and the language overhead be negligible. Another workaround would be to always generate the applied/unapplied files when the stack structure changes. -- Catalin - 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
