Linus Torvalds 044bbbcb63 Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree() Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time if git_dir is inside work_tree. Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each. There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever: Before: real 0m8.135s real 0m7.933s real 0m8.080s real 0m7.954s real 0m7.949s real 0m8.112s real 0m7.934s real 0m8.059s real 0m7.979s real 0m8.038s After: real 0m7.685s real 0m7.968s real 0m7.703s real 0m7.850s real 0m7.995s real 0m7.817s real 0m7.963s real 0m7.955s real 0m7.848s real 0m7.969s Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while the "before" case did so half the time). So looks like about 3% to me. Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory) gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with metadata updates, so we have: Before: real 0m1.633s real 0m1.633s real 0m1.633s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.630s real 0m1.634s real 0m1.631s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.632s After: real 0m1.610s real 0m1.609s real 0m1.610s real 0m1.608s real 0m1.607s real 0m1.610s real 0m1.609s real 0m1.611s real 0m1.608s real 0m1.611s where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just over 1% peformance improvement. So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and measured. (That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to cause more work to look up).

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands,
and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt.

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
