[PATCH v3 4/7] fetch-pack: optimize loading of refs via commit graph

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

 



In order to negotiate a packfile, we need to dereference refs to see
which commits we have in common with the remote. To do so, we first look
up the object's type -- if it's a tag, we peel until we hit a non-tag
object. If we hit a commit eventually, then we return that commit.

In case the object ID points to a commit directly, we can avoid the
initial lookup of the object type by opportunistically looking up the
commit via the commit-graph, if available, which gives us a slight speed
bump of about 2% in a huge repository with about 2.3M refs:

    Benchmark #1: HEAD~: git-fetch
      Time (mean ± σ):     31.634 s ±  0.258 s    [User: 28.400 s, System: 5.090 s]
      Range (min … max):   31.280 s … 31.896 s    5 runs

    Benchmark #2: HEAD: git-fetch
      Time (mean ± σ):     31.129 s ±  0.543 s    [User: 27.976 s, System: 5.056 s]
      Range (min … max):   30.172 s … 31.479 s    5 runs

    Summary
      'HEAD: git-fetch' ran
        1.02 ± 0.02 times faster than 'HEAD~: git-fetch'

In case this fails, we fall back to the old code which peels the
objects to a commit.
