Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Default core.packdGitWindowSize to 1 MiB if NO_MMAP.
Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2006 00:46:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061224054613.GD8146@spearce.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <487c7d0ea81f2f82f330e277e0aea38a66ca7cfe.1166939109.git.spearce@spearce.org>

If the compiler has asked us to disable use of mmap() on their
platform then we are forced to use git_mmap and its emulation via
pread.  In this case large (e.g. 32 MiB) windows for pack access
are simply too big as a command will wind up reading a lot more
data than it will ever need, significantly reducing response time.

To prevent a high latency when NO_MMAP has been selected we now
use a default of 1 MiB for core.packedGitWindowSize.  Credit goes
to Linus and Junio for recommending this more reasonable setting.
