I'd have agreed with you (and I did, violently) if it wasn't for the performance issues. It makes a huge difference for write-tree, and to me, clearly performance _does_ matter. Fractions of seconds may not sound like a lot, but they add up. I work with 200-patch series myself all the time, so I'm very sensitive to a 0.3 second difference in performance. How many times per day do you invoke `write-tree' and why? It takes a large multiple of `0.3s' to get me to take you seriously on this point. I have long harbored the suspician that your perceived bandwidth implies that you process a lot of patches unread or barely read -- implying that your day-to-day bitslingling could/should largely be handled by an Arch-style patch-queue-manager (a script). -t - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
