Perhaps the whole info needed to generate projects > index page should be pre-generated on push (update), instead of per > project (per repository) .git/info/refs-details You completely lost me there. A push (update) is done as a specific user, who should not be able to write to a _global_ file! Nevertheless, "24175 calls to git" is sure as hell more expensive than "reading 24175 files". Plus, if we integrate the functionality to write .git/info/refs-details into update-server-info, you can reduce that further: it is no longer per-branch, but per-repo.
