From 26a8ad25b28a1cb906c88bdf539d840774ca5aeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 00:00:09 -0700 Subject: show-branch: fix performance problem. The core function used in show-branch, join_revs(), was supposed to be exactly the same algorithm as merge_bases(), except that it was a version enhanced for use with more than two heads. However, it needed to mark and keep a list of all the commits it has seen, because it needed them for its semi-graphical output. The function to implement this list, mark_seen(), stupidly used insert_by_date(), when it did not need to keep the list sorted during its processing. This made "show-branch --merge-base" more than 20x slower compared to "merge-base --all" in some cases (e.g. between b5032a5 and 48ce8b0 in the Linux 2.6 kernel archive). The performance of "show-branch --independent" suffered from the same reason. This patch sorts the resulting list after the list traversal just once to fix these problems.
