It's funny that we'd get two patches so close together. AFAIK the
slowness here has been with us for years, and I just happened to
investigate it recently.

The 5-patch series that contains the same change as this one is
cooking and will hopefully be in the released version before the end
of the year.

I'd be curious if the 5th patch there provides an additional speedup for
Takuto's case.

Indeed, it is a very good point.

IIUC, the 5th one is about fetching tons of refs that you have never
seen, right?  If a repository that has trouble with everything-local
is suffering because it right now has 300k remote-tracking branches,
I'd imagine that these remote-tracking branches are being added at a
considerable rate, so I'd not be surprised if these "new" refs
benefits from that patch.  And it would be nice to know how much a
real life scenario actually does improve.

Thanks.
