One of the tests in t3311 creates 300 commits by running "test_commit" in a loop. This requires 900 processes. Instead, we can use test_commit_bulk to do it with only four. This improves the runtime of the script from: Benchmark #1: ./t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests Time (mean ± σ): 5.821 s ± 0.691 s [User: 3.146 s, System: 2.782 s] Range (min … max): 4.783 s … 6.841 s 10 runs to: Benchmark #1: ./t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests Time (mean ± σ): 1.743 s ± 0.116 s [User: 1.144 s, System: 0.691 s] Range (min … max): 1.629 s … 1.994 s 10 runs for an average speedup of over 70%. Unfortunately we still have to run 300 instances of "git notes add", since the point is to test the fanout that comes from adding notes one by one. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- Re-reading the patch again, the notes numbering will be in reverse order from the original. That's fine for the purposes of the test, though I could probably fix it if we want to be pedantic. t/t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh b/t/t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh index 93516ef67c..37151a3adc 100755 --- a/t/t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh +++ b/t/t3311-notes-merge-fanout.sh @@ -114,12 +114,12 @@ cp expect_log_x expect_log_y test_expect_success 'Add a few hundred commits w/notes to trigger fanout (x -> y)' ' git update-ref refs/notes/y refs/notes/x && git config core.notesRef refs/notes/y && - i=5 && - while test $i -lt $num + test_commit_bulk --start=6 --id=commit $((num - 5)) && + i=0 && + while test $i -lt $((num - 5)) do - i=$(($i + 1)) && - test_commit "commit$i" >/dev/null && - git notes add -m "notes for commit$i" || return 1 + git notes add -m "notes for commit$i" HEAD~$i || return 1 + i=$((i + 1)) done && test "$(git rev-parse refs/notes/y)" != "$(git rev-parse refs/notes/x)" && # Expected number of commits and notes -- 2.22.0.768.gd89de1e449
