Subject: describe: Delay looking up commits until searching for an inexact match
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.4-rc0~35^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1645d02defe43fa5b43140050ba265fcc49fa70;p=git.git

describe: Delay looking up commits until searching for an inexact match

Now that struct commit.util is not used until after we've checked that
the argument doesn't exactly match a tag, we can wait until then to
look up the commits for each tag.

This avoids a lot of I/O on --exact-match queries in repositories with
many tags.  For example, 'git describe --exact-match HEAD' becomes
about 12 times faster on a cold cache (3.2s instead of 39s) in a
linux-2.6 repository with 2000 packed tags.  That is a huge win for the
interactivity of the __git_ps1 shell prompt helper when on a detached
HEAD.
