The path name field needs to be moved back into the blobs to support alternative indexes. For example I want an index on the Signed-off-by field. I use this index to give me the SHAs for the blobs Signed-off-by a particular person. In the current design I have no way of recovering the path name for these blobs other than a brute force search following every path looking for the right SHA.
Ah, there we go. A use-case at last :) So now we have a concrete problem that we can formulate thus: "How can one create a database listing the relationship between 'signers' and blobs?" So the second question: Do you seriously argue that git should take a huge performance loss on its common operations to accommodate a need that I suspect very few people have? -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
