From ee1c6c34ac64c1e10b17a50710ea7002b7e7241f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:55:00 -0400 Subject: sha1_file: only freshen packs once per run Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects, 2014-10-15), we update the mtime of existing objects that we would have written out (had they not existed). For the common case in which many objects are packed, we may update the mtime on a single packfile repeatedly. This can result in a noticeable performance problem if calling utime() is expensive (e.g., because your storage is on NFS). We can fix this by keeping a per-pack flag that lets us freshen only once per program invocation. An alternative would be to keep the packed_git.mtime flag up to date as we freshen, and freshen only once every N seconds. In practice, it's not worth the complexity. We are racing against prune expiration times here, which inherently must be set to accomodate reasonable program running times (because they really care about the time between an object being written and it becoming referenced, and the latter is typically the last step a program takes).
