Subject: Does git load index file into memory?
Message-ID: <CAFd4kYCTuLMZ6UDk49MASbZfhwjgUcmfeyd6jZS5QO9-LnzLCw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Does git load the entire index file into memory when it wants to
edit/view it? I ask because I wonder if this can become a problem with
the index file becomes arbitrarily large, like for the Linux kernel.

Thanks,
