Re: q: git-fetch a tad slow?

alas, fetching still seems to be slow:

  titan:~/tip> time git-fetch origin

  real    0m5.112s
  user    0m0.972s
  sys     0m3.380s

What version of git are dealing with on the client side?

I only have a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and I'm getting
fetch times of ~472 ms over git:// to your -tip.git tree and ~128
ms for strictly local fetch.  If your SSH overhead is ~300 ms this
is only a ~700 ms real time for `git fetch origin`, not 5100 ms.

Is your git-fetch a shell script?  Or a compiled binary?  The port
into C made it go _much_ faster, even though it is still a naive
O(N^2) matching algorithm.  Yea, we still should fix that, but
I think an upgrade to 1.5.4 or later would make the client side
improve consideribly.
