I'd like to have some profiling done before that. For example, I am still a bit unsure how the things would perform with a 50-deep delta chain for a notes tree having 50,000+ notes in it (which I think will not be all that unreasonable for a medium-sized project that stores bug-tracking information in the notes). I have a gut feeling that the performance dip I saw is a direct result of doing away with the fan-out "subdirectories": remember, originally, I had a tree structure much like the loose objects in .git/objects/??/, while Peff convinced me that a flat tree object should be enough. I could be wrong on that, though. > * js/patience-diff (Thu Jan 1 17:39:37 2009 +0100) 3 commits > + bash completions: Add the --patience option > + Introduce the diff option '--patience' > + Implement the patience diff algorithm There is this one issue that my patience's output differs from bzr's. Since the patience diff algorithm is so lousily documented, I do not know if it is due to my misunderstanding the algorithm, or due to bzr doing something clever in addition. I'd be thankful if somebody could clarify that issue.
