I like those prefetch() and process() code in pull.c very much. I have been wondering if increasing parallelism more by prefetching beyond the immediate parents of the current commit, in "if (get_history)" part of process_commit(). Maybe it is not worth it because doing a commit, its associated tree(s) and its parents would already give us enough parallelism already. > (I've written an untested patch for local-pull, which I'll be testing, > cleaning, and submitting tonight, assuming my newly-arrived monitor > actually works) That is a great news. Thank you for doing this; looking forward to see it, but no rush. Enjoy your new monitor.
