Kurtis, thanks for the tip. That certainly helped shed some light on what
is happening.
For anyone with any insight on the specific problem, I ran:
fish --profile /tmp/some_file -c 'complete -C"git add "'
The profile confirmed that it took 5,152ms to run.
Of that 4,885 was running:
command git config --get "alias.$cmd" ^/dev/null | string split " "
(62 executions, each taking 79ms on average).
Running e.g: "time git config --get alias.add", seems to confirm 70-90ms is
about the right time for that shell command (and seems to be about the same
time taken to just do "time git".
By comparison running
fish --profile /tmp/some_file2 -c 'complete -C"git "'
Takes a speedy (or fast enough) 144ms .
Given the cost of shelling out to git can't have just got extra slow all of
a sudden (I don't think?), it seems that calling git config 62 times is the
problem.
I'm yet to work out why the completion needs to do that, if anyone has any
hints, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Ben
