In (3), why would you need to search through _all_ blobs/trees? Would
it not be cheaper to simply query the object type of each annotated
object from (2)? I.e. something like:
for notes_ref in $(git for-each-ref refs/notes | cut -c 49-)
do
echo "--- $notes_ref ---"
for annotated_obj in $(git notes --ref=$notes_ref list | cut -c 41-)
do
type=$(git cat-file -t "$annotated_obj")
if test "$type" != "commit"
then
echo "$annotated_obj: $type"
fi
done
done
Can probably be made even faster by using the --batch option to cat-file...
