The primary thing to notice is that it is not a new problem with or without the caching layer. As Linus mentioned how patch-ids are computed by ignoring offsets and whitespaces, the filtering is done as a crude approximation and false negatives are part of design, so making the cache more complex by recording hash of the binary and/or options used to compute misses the fundamental. -- 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
