This is a re-casting of my previous filter-objects command but without
any of the filtering so it is now just "list-all-objects".
I have retained the "--verbose" option which outputs the same format as
the default "cat-file --batch-check" as it provides a useful performance
gain to filtering though "cat-file" if this basic information is all
that is needed.
The motivating use case is to enable a script to quickly scan a large
number of repositories for any large objects.
I performed some test timings of some different commands on a clone of
the Linux kernel which was completely packed.
$ time git rev-list --all --objects |
cut -d" " -f1 |
git cat-file --batch-check |
awk '{if ($3 >= 512000) { print $1 }}' |
wc -l
958
real 0m30.823s
user 0m41.904s
sys 0m7.728s
list-all-objects gives a significant improvement:
$ time git list-all-objects |
git cat-file --batch-check |
awk '{if ($3 >= 512000) { print $1 }}' |
wc -l
958
real 0m9.585s
user 0m10.820s
sys 0m4.960s
skipping the cat-filter filter is a lesser but still significant
improvement:
$ time git list-all-objects -v |
awk '{if ($3 >= 512000) { print $1 }}' |
wc -l
958
real 0m5.637s
user 0m6.652s
sys 0m0.156s
The old filter-objects could do the size filter a little be faster, but
not by much:
$ time git filter-objects --min-size=500k |
wc -l
958
real 0m4.564s
user 0m4.496s
sys 0m0.064s
