Subject: [PATCH 0/2] speed up "Counting objects" when there are many packs
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:49:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160725184938.GA12871@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
We sometimes see cases at GitHub where repository maintenance has fallen
behind, and you get a large number of packs. The solution is to repack,
but that process is itself made a lot slower by the number of packs.
We've experimented a bit with fast "just cat all the packfiles together"
type approaches, but they have some downsides, so I have nothing to show
there yet.
However, there are a few easy optimizations we can do to cut out some
unnecessary computation in common cases (e.g., when you have no .keep
files and when you have no upstream alternates storage). Both of these
patches have been in production at GitHub for about 6 months.
[1/2]: pack-objects: break out of want_object loop early
[2/2]: pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
