Time needed to execute git-peek-remote in my box with cold cache currently is:
- git tree 2.347 ms - linux tree 2.144 ms
And refs are *already* packed in both repos.
Looking at packed-refs file, it contains something like:
d9b0f913ce0508fcc83e642e0241f373428368e5 refs/tags/v1.4.3 4314f5982d2aac08001a977fc0b1b611e858e025 refs/tags/v1.4.3-rc1
while I would need something like git-peek-remote output,
d9b0f913ce0508fcc83e642e0241f373428368e5 refs/tags/v1.4.3 e0b0830726286287744cc9e1a629a534bbe75452 refs/tags/v1.4.3^{} 4314f5982d2aac08001a977fc0b1b611e858e025 refs/tags/v1.4.3-rc1 1965efb1599f59b8e3380335d1fa395e2008a30b refs/tags/v1.4.3-rc1^{}
Because the sha value a tag points to is needed to match against git-rev-list output so to identify tagged revisions.
Would be possible to store in packed-refs also the dereferenced tag info, so that cold opening of a repository would be much faster?
Just to give an idea, with warmed up cache, refs reading times are:
- git tree 43 ms - linux tree 28 ms
Thanks Marco
P.S: In case it's not clear I don't suggest to read directly the packed-refs file with the added info, but always to use
