From: Marco Costalba Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2007 08:23:05 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Avoid to duplicate commit message when is not encoded Message-ID: When a commit message doesn't have encoding information and encoding output is utf-8 (default) then an useless xstrdup() of commit message is done. If we assume most of users live in an utf-8 world, this useless copy is the common case. Performance issue found with KCachegrind.
