To get a complete list of objects we do not have yet, fetch will need to walk all the trees first and then make another pass to process all the missing objects. Is it worth considering a case where the missing objects are packed along with objects that don't need to be transferred? From the use cases you described, it's not clear that situation would ever really happen. If the blobs have been packed, it seems likely that the tree objects will also be packed, so fetching them during the first pass will either involve fetching a pack without being able to determine which is best or fetching the appropriate ranges from packs to get the tree objects. -- For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Mon Oct 17 16:07:48 2005
