When dealing with a repository with lots of loose objects, sha1_object_info would rescan the packs directory every time an unpacked object was referenced before finally giving up and looking for the loose object. This caused a lot of extra unnecessary system calls during git pack-objects; the code was rereading the entire pack directory once for each loose object file. This patch looks for a loose object before falling back to rescanning the pack directory, rather than the other way around. Signed-off-by: Steven Grimm <redacted> --- I discovered this by running strace on a pack-objects that was taking especially long to run; it was making more system calls to scan the pack directory than to do stuff with the loose objects, which didn't seem right. sha1_file.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
