From: Orgad Shaneh <orgads@xxxxxxxxx> This operation is very expensive, as it scans all the refs using setup_revisions, which resolves each ref, including checking if it is ambiguous, or if it is a file name etc. There is no reason to do all that for refs that haven't changed in this fetch. Reported here: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGHpTBKSUJzFSWc=uznSu2zB33qCSmKXM-iAjxRCpqNK5bnhRg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Amends commit be76c2128234d94b47f7087152ee55d08bb65d88.
