Re: speeding up cg-log -u

Dear diary, on Sat, May 14, 2005 at 08:19:14AM CEST, I got a letter
where Zack Brown [off-list ref] told me that...

Currently cg-log handles this by grabbing all the log data from git, and
then grepping through it.

Which is clearly suboptimal since cg-log now does git-cat-file up to
_three_ times per commit. It should instead process the commit only
once.

+	buffer = read_sha1_file(item->object.sha1, type, &size);

If it do that, I wonder how much speedup would be using this instead.
But probably still significant one.

What I don't like is that it searches only the author field. I find the
behaviour that it searches in the committer field as well very useful,
since I can easily check whose patches on a file I checked it - that's
useful when porting own stuff to another branch, or frequently it's the
only thing I actually remember. :-)

(which patches of a file I checked in)
