There's room to improve on that particular inefficiency. The http commit walker could use Range: headers to fetch loose objects directly from inside a pack if it didn't make sense to fetch the entire pack. For this to work, pack fetches would need to be deferred until the entire tree had been walked, and the commit walker could decide whether to fetch the pack or loose objects based on the percentage of packed objects it needed to fetch. It would also need to fetch all tag/commit/tree objects using ranges to be able to fully walk the tree. -- For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
