Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] commit-reach: add trace2 instrumentation to paint_down_to_common()
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:14:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6ade4df2ed2a836a3b4c5400ab13e8247e36c029.1782303254.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2149.v2.git.1782303254.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com>
Add a step counter and trace2_data_intmax() call so that the number
of commits visited during the paint walk is observable via
GIT_TRACE2_PERF. This provides a way to measure the impact of
future optimizations without relying on wall-clock benchmarks alone.
