[PATCH v2 20/21] bisect: compute best bisection in compute_relevant_weights()

From
Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>
Date
Apr 10, 2016, 13:24 UTC
Message-ID
<1460294692-7402-1-git-send-email-s-beyer@gmx.net>
In-Reply-To
<1460294354-7031-1-git-send-email-s-beyer@gmx.net>

This commit gets rid of the O(#commits) extra overhead of the best_bisection() function.

Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>
---
Notes:
    I made the best_bisection structure be allocated on the heap
    because it will get free()d when the code is invoked by
    git rev-list --bisect ... The old code crashed in this case.
