That's pretty much orthogonal, isn't it? The index-v4 is merely to show how a stupid prefix compression of pathnames without nothing else would reduce the file size and I/O cost, in order to set the bar for anything more clever than that. I thought that this discussion is about keeping, squishing, or discarding part of the cached stat info, and nobody is suggesting what to do with the prefix compression of pathnames. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
