As custom options are added to 'git pack-objects' and 'git repack' to adjust how compression is done, use this new performance test script to demonstrate their effectiveness in performance and size. The recently-added --full-name-hash option swaps the default name-hash algorithm with one that attempts to uniformly distribute the hashes based on the full path name instead of the last 16 characters. This has a dramatic effect on full repacks for repositories with many versions of most paths. It can have a negative impact on cases such as pushing a single change. This can be seen by running pt5313 on the open source fluentui repository [1]. Most commits will have this kind of output for the thin and big pack cases, though certain commits (such as [2]) will have problematic thin pack size for other reasons. [1] https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui [2] a637a06df05360ce5ff21420803f64608226a875 Checked out at the parent of [2], I see the following statistics: Test this tree ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5313.2: thin pack 0.02(0.01+0.01) 5313.3: thin pack size 1.1K 5313.4: thin pack with --full-name-hash 0.02(0.01+0.00) 5313.5: thin pack size with --full-name-hash 3.0K 5313.6: big pack 1.65(3.35+0.24) 5313.7: big pack size 58.0M 5313.8: big pack with --full-name-hash 1.53(2.52+0.18) 5313.9: big pack size with --full-name-hash 57.6M 5313.10: repack 176.52(706.60+3.53) 5313.11: repack size 446.7K 5313.12: repack with --full-name-hash 37.47(134.18+3.06) 5313.13: repack size with --full-name-hash 183.1K Note that this demonstrates a 3x size _increase_ in the case that simulates a small "git push". The size change is neutral on the case of pushing the difference between HEAD and HEAD~1000. However, the full repack case is both faster and more efficient.
