Background: To tie Perforce changelists to Git commits, I add a note to a commit with the form "P4@123456". Later, I use the note to sync down the closest Perforce changelist matching the Git commit.
I search for these notes by getting a list of revisions:
git rev-list --max-count=1000
I iterate those revisions and run git show and grep on each:
git show -s --format=%N%n%s --show-notes=p4notes COMMIT
For short runs, this isn't so bad. For longer runs of commits (I just walked through approximately 100), it takes a long time. Running 'git show' is costing me about 7/10 of second, presumably because I am on Windows.
Is there a faster way to do this?
Thanks.
Josh
