From 0c811a7a6f93691604d48b1c13a6868c89971528 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2011 19:04:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When looking for commits that contain other commits (e.g., via "git tag --contains"), we can end up traversing useless portions of the graph. For example, if I am looking for a tag that contains a commit made last week, there is not much point in traversing portions of the history graph made five years ago. This optimization can provide massive speedups. For example, doing "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6 repository goes from: real 0m5.302s user 0m5.116s sys 0m0.184s to: real 0m0.030s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.008s The downside is that we will no longer find some answers in the face of extreme clock skew, as we will stop the traversal early when seeing commits skewed too far into the past. Name-rev already implements a similar optimization, using a "slop" of one day to allow for a certain amount of clock skew in commit timestamps. This patch introduces a "core.clockskew" variable, which allows specifying the allowable amount of clock skew in seconds. For safety, it defaults to "none", causing a full traversal (i.e., no change in behavior from previous versions).
