[PATCH v4 06/13] update-index: use the bulk-checkin infrastructure

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

 



From: Neeraj Singh <neerajsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The update-index functionality is used internally by 'git stash push' to
setup the internal stashed commit.

This change enables odb-transactions for update-index infrastructure to
speed up adding new objects to the object database by leveraging the
batch fsync functionality.

There is some risk with this change, since under batch fsync, the object
files will be in a tmp-objdir until update-index is complete, so callers
using the --stdin option will not see them until update-index is done.
This risk is mitigated by not keeping an ODB transaction open around
--stdin processing if in --verbose mode. Without --verbose mode,
a caller feeding update-index via --stdin wouldn't know when
update-index adds an object, event without an ODB transaction.
