That's an interesting idea. Have to test it out. This is the result from
the current master in linux.git:
With clone:
$ time git testadd pwd
git-testadd: Using ".testadd.tmp" as destination directory
Cloning into '.testadd.tmp'...
done.
Checking out files: 100% (55256/55256), done.
git-testadd: Applying staged changes
git-testadd: Executing "pwd" in /home/sunny/src/test-wt/.testadd.tmp
/home/sunny/src/test-wt/.testadd.tmp
real 0m10.464s
user 0m5.983s
sys 0m2.790s
$
With worktree:
$ time git worktree add testaddtmp
Preparing testaddtmp (identifier testaddtmp)
Checking out files: 100% (55256/55256), done.
HEAD is now at 194dc87 Add braces to avoid "ambiguous ‘else’" compiler
warnings
real 0m10.343s
user 0m6.010s
sys 0m2.523s
$
Both tests were run with cold cache ("echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
as root). It seems as there's no difference, and that git clone is as
fast as it can get without breaking physical laws. And we probably
shouldn't do that. :)
Z poważaniem,
Øyvind
