Performance regression on git fetch in 2.21

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

 



Hi,

git fetch in my repository *when nothing new is received* takes 2.5x
the time when comparing 2.20 against 2.21 (on Windows it's 4x).

I have 5 initialized submodules in this working directory.

I reported this issue on git-for-windows github:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2199 but there is also
an upstream change related.

I bisected and found this commit to blame:

Building... Fetching... Failed [10.7949124]
Bisecting: 0 revisions left to test after this (roughly 0 steps)
[a62387b3fc9f5aeeb04a2db278121d33a9caafa7] submodule.c: fetch in
submodules git directory instead of in worktree
running git-bisect.rb
Building... Fetching... Success [4.303592]

    fetch: ensure submodule objects fetched

    Currently when git-fetch is asked to recurse into submodules, it dispatches
    a plain "git-fetch -C <submodule-dir>" (with some submodule related options
    such as prefix and recusing strategy, but) without any information of the
    remote or the tip that should be fetched.

    But this default fetch is not sufficient, as a newly fetched commit in
    the superproject could point to a commit in the submodule that is not
    in the default refspec. This is common in workflows like Gerrit's.
    When fetching a Gerrit change under review (from refs/changes/??), the
    commits in that change likely point to submodule commits that have not
    been merged to a branch yet.

    Fetch a submodule object by id if the object that the superproject
    points to, cannot be found. For now this object is fetched from the
    'origin' remote as we defer getting the default remote to a later patch.

    A list of new submodule commits are already generated in certain
    conditions (by check_for_new_submodule_commits()); this new feature
    invokes that function in more situations.

    The submodule checks were done only when a ref in the superproject
    changed, these checks were extended to also be performed when fetching
    into FETCH_HEAD for completeness, and add a test for that too.

Can you please suggest a fix? Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks,
