Does it make much sense to bump this without also bumping MAX_DELTA_CACHE in sha1_file.c? In my measurements of linux.git, bumping the memory limit did not help much without also bumping the number of slots. I guess that just bumping the memory limit would help with repos which have deltas on large-ish files (whereas the kernel just has a lot of deltas on a lot of little directories), but I'd be curious how much. If you have before-and-after numbers for just this patch on some repository, that would be an interesting thing to put in the commit message. -Peff -- 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
