If you have not noticed, I'm a bit busy with all sorts of stuff and probably won't continue that work. And since it affects you the most, you probably have the best motive to tackle it ;-) I don't think complaining about slow test suite helps. And avoiding adding more tests because of that definitely does not help. > It would also finally make it easier to introduce something like "smart > testing" where code coverage could be computed (this works only for C > code, of course, not for the many scripted parts of core Git), and a diff > could be inspected to discover which tests *really* need to be run, > skipping the tests that would only touch unchanged code. -- Duy
