Its not perfect. The hotter parts of the object database is almost always the recent stuff, as that's what people are actively trying to fetch, or are using as a base when they are trying to fetch from someone else. The hotter parts are also probably too new to be in the shared store offered by kernel.org admins, which means you cannot get good IO buffering. Back to the current set of problems. A single shared object directory that everyone can write new files into, but cannot modify or delete from, would help that problem quite a bit. But it opens up huge problems about pruning, as there is no way to perform garbage collection on that database without scanning every ref on the system, and that's just not simply possible on a busy system like kernel.org. -- Shawn. - 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.html
