[PATCH v5 8/9] sequencer: try to commit without forking 'git commit'

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

 



From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the commit message does not need to be edited then create the
commit without forking 'git commit'. Taking the best time of ten runs
with a warm cache this reduces the time taken to cherry-pick 10
commits by 27% (from 282ms to 204ms), and the time taken by 'git
rebase --continue' to pick 10 commits by 45% (from 386ms to 212ms) on
my computer running linux. Some of greater saving for rebase is
because it no longer wastes time creating the commit summary just to
throw it away.

The code to create the commit is based on builtin/commit.c. It is
simplified as it doesn't have to deal with merges and modified so that
it does not die but returns an error to make sure the sequencer exits
cleanly, as it would when forking 'git commit'

Even when not forking 'git commit' the commit message is written to a
file and CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is created unnecessarily. This could be
eliminated in future. I hacked up a version that does not write these
files and just passed an strbuf (with the wrong message for fixup and
squash commands) to do_commit() but I couldn't measure any significant
time difference when running cherry-pick or rebase. I think
eliminating the writes properly for rebase would require a bit of
effort as the code would need to be restructured.

Notes:
    changes since v4:
     - changed cleanup and gpg handling to reflect the changes in the last patch
    
    changes since v3:
     - take account of change print_commit_summary() return type after
       dropping the patch that made it return an error instead of dying.
    
    changes since v2:
     - style fixes
    
    changes since v1:
     - added comments to explain return value of try_to_commit()
     - removed unnecessary NULL tests before calling free()
     - style cleanups
     - corrected commit message
     - prefixed cleanup_mode constants to reflect the changes to patch 2
       in this series
