From 39f75d26e235798681394e46625716c187a4ee3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:36:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] diff --follow: do not waste cycles while recursing The "--follow" logic is called from diff_tree_sha1() function, but the input trees to diff_tree_sha1() are not necessarily the top-level trees (compare_tree_entry() calls it while it recursively descends into subtrees). When a newly created path lives in somewhere deep in the source hierarchy, e.g. "platform/", but the rename source is in a totally different place in the destination hierarchy, e.g. "lang-api/src/com/...", running "try_to_find_renames()" while base is set to "platform/" is a wasted call. We only need to run the rename following at the very top level.
