Subject: [PATCH 0/1] ls-refs.c: minimize number of refs visited
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:42:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210119144251.27924-1-jacob@gitlab.com> (raw)

The back story of this patch is in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability/-/issues/746; it
comes down to: we have a repo with 500,000 refs of which only 50,000
are visible. Having ls-refs iterate through all the refs adds
considerable overhead.

This patch reduces the number of refs visited by replacing one ref
walk over refs/ with multiple ref walks over the prefixes the user
requested via ref-prefix. In the case the user did not use ref-prefix
we fall back to the walk over all of refs/.
