![]() When completing refs, several __git_refs() code paths list all the refs from the refs/{heads,tags,remotes}/ hierarchy and then __gitcomp_nl() iterates over those refs in a shell loop to filter out refs not matching the current ref to be completed. This comes with a considerable performance penalty when a repository contains a lot of refs but the current ref can be uniquely completed or when only a handful of refs match the current ref. Reduce the number of iterations in __gitcomp_nl() from the number of refs to the number of matching refs by specifying appropriate globbing patterns to 'git for-each-ref' and 'git ls-remote' to list only those refs that match the current ref to be completed. However, do so only when the ref to match is explicitly given as parameter, because the current word on the command line might contain a prefix like '--option=' or 'branch..'. The __git_complete_refs() and __git_complete_fetch_refspecs() helpers introduced previously in this patch series already call __git_refs() specifying this current ref parameter, so all their callsites, i.e. all places in the completion script doing refs completion, can benefit from this optimization. Furthermore, list only those symbolic and pseudo refs that match the current ref to be completed. Though it doesn't matter at all in itself performance-wise, it will allow us further significant optimizations later in this series. This speeds up refs completion considerably when there are a lot of non-matching refs to be filtered out.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
