Hi, git-fetch builtinification (commit v1.5.3.2-93-gb888d61) apparently dropped -n option (alias to --no-tags) documented in Documentation/fetch-options.txt Either builtin-fetch.c or Documentation/fetch-options.txt should be adjusted to sync the code with its docs. Original bug report: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14870
I have a (very) vague memory that git-fetch.sh had to iterate over tags one by one, making tag-heavy projects excruciatingly slow to fetch from with the shellscript version. Some pathological case with 2700 tags was presented where a fetch took nearly an hour, iirc. AFAIR, the builtinification (or was it a protocol extension?) reduced that time to something around 10 seconds for the pathological case. Does anyone else have a sharper memory of what caused the -n option to be dropped? -- 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
