From: Derrick Stolee <dsto...@microsoft.com> A git push process runs several processes during its run, but one includes git send-pack which calls git pack-objects and passes the known have/wants into stdin using object ids. However, the default setting for core.warnAmbiguousRefs requires git pack-objects to check for ref names matching the ref_rev_parse_rules array in refs.c. This means that every object is triggering at least six "file exists?" queries. When there are a lot of refs, this can add up significantly! I observed a simple push spending three seconds checking these paths.
The fix here is similar to 4c30d50 "rev-list: disable object/refname ambiguity check with --stdin". Save the value of the global warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity variable (which is usually set to the boolean config variable core.warnAmbiguousRefs) and change the state to false. Do this only during the get_object_list() method which reads the objects from stdin.
