Certainly I tested it at the time (those commits I referenced contain timing information), and it should have improved the workload you describe. I did not test before/after the patch in this thread, but only read it and noticed that it was trying to do the same thing (that is why I said "I suspect..."). As the person who is proposing the patch for git.git, I would hope Stepan would follow up on such review and confirm whether or not it is still needed. -Peff -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
