Hi everybody, I'm just looking at some scripts that do a 'git branch --contains $id --remote' for each new commit in a repo, and unfortunately each invokation already takes four minutes.
It feels like git branch does the reachability detection separately for each branch potentially listed. The alternative would be to - invert the parent map to a child map, - use that to compute the set of commits that contain $id, - then use that as predicate whether to show a given branch (show iff its head is in the set) That would speed things up considerably, but what are the chances to see that change in git? I can do that as well within the script, with the additional benefit that I only need to do the inversion once, but I might instead take a stab at git branch. - Andreas -- "Totally trivial.
