The commit sequence used to do if (file_exists(p->path)) add_file_to_cache(p->path, 0); where both "file_exists()" and "add_file_to_cache()" needed to do a lstat() on the path to do their work. This cuts down 'lstat()' calls for the partial commit case by two for each path we know about (because we do this twice per path). Just move the lstat() to the caller instead (that's all that "file_exists()" really does), and pass the stat information down to the add_to_cache() function. This essentially makes 'add_to_index()' the core function that adds a path to the index, getting the index pointer, the pathname and the stat information as arguments. There are then shorthand helper functions that use this core function: - 'add_to_cache()' is just 'add_to_index()' with the default index - 'add_file_to_cache/index()' is the same, but does the lstat() call itself, so you can pass just the pathname if you don't already have the stat information available. So old users of the 'add_file_to_xyzzy()' are essentially left unchanged, and this just exposes the more generic helper function that can take existing stat information into account.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
