IIRC, the notes code populates an in-memory data structure, which gives faster per-commit lookup at the cost of some setup time. Obviously for a single lookup, that's going to be a bad tradeoff (but it does make sense for "git log --notes"). I don't know offhand how difficult it would be to tune the data structure differently (or avoid it altogether) if we know ahead of time we are only going to do a small number of lookups. But Johan (cc'd) might. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
