[PATCH 2/3] write_entry: avoid reading blobs in CE_RETRY case

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Oct 9, 2017, 17:48 UTC
Message-ID
<20171009174852.32dpy5xh3w3bfn6t@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20171009174715.a6wziu6w535u6rd2@sigill.intra.peff.net>

When retrying a delayed filter-process request, we don't need to send the blob to the filter a second time. However, we read it unconditionally into a buffer, only to later throw away that buffer. We can make this more efficient by skipping the read in the first place when it isn't necessary.
