[PATCH v5 07/11] commit: use generation numbers for in_merge_bases()

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

 



The containment algorithm for 'git branch --contains' is different
from that for 'git tag --contains' in that it uses is_descendant_of()
instead of contains_tag_algo(). The expensive portion of the branch
algorithm is computing merge bases.

When a commit-graph file exists with generation numbers computed,
we can avoid this merge-base calculation when the target commit has
a larger generation number than the initial commits.

Performance tests were run on a copy of the Linux repository where
HEAD is contained in v4.13 but no earlier tag. Also, all tags were
copied to branches and 'git branch --contains' was tested:

Before: 60.0s
After:   0.4s
Rel %: -99.3%
