Subject: [PATCH v3] git-svn: memoize _rev_list and rebuild
Message-ID: <1390443319-11239-1-git-send-email-manjian2006@gmail.com>

From: lin zuojian <manjian2006@gmail.com>

According to profile data, _rev_list and rebuild consume a large
portion of time.  Memoize the results of _rev_list and memoize
rebuild internals to avoid subprocess invocation.

When importing 15152 revisions on a LAN, time improved from 10
hours to 3-4 hours.

Hi, I am considering reverting _rev_list memoization because it
can increases memory usage a lot, which hurting fork() performance on
Linux.

Can you tell me if your original results are under Linux or another
kernel?  I may only disable _rev_list memoization under Linux and
leave other OSes unaffected, too.

I've merged some patches from Jakob to improve svn:mergeinfo
performance along with some followup patches to reduce memory
use.  However memory bloat is still a problem.

Currently in my "master" branch of git://bogomips.org/git-svn

Eric Wong (4):
      git-svn: reduce check_cherry_pick cache overhead
      git-svn: cache only mergeinfo revisions
      git-svn: clear global SVN pool between get_log invocations
      git-svn: remove mergeinfo rev caching

Jakob Stoklund Olesen (2):
      git-svn: only look at the new parts of svn:mergeinfo
      git-svn: only look at the root path for svn:mergeinfo

```
