If caching is turned on project details can be filled in already from the cache. When refreshing project info details for all project (when cache is stale and has to be refreshed) generate projects info only if modification time (as returned by lstat()) of projects repository gitdir changed. This way we can avoid hitting repository refs, object database and repository config at the cost of additional lstat. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is an idea for further improvement of 'projects list caching'. Could you please: 1.) comment if it is a good idea, or why it works, or why it couldn't work :), 2.) check if this change gives any improvements in performance on real data; note that testing would require updating repositories if test on generated data was done, or gathering statistics over larger time period if it was tested on "live" set.
